A four-coordinate thionitrosyl complex of vanadium

摘要

Addition of elemental sulfur to the vanadium nitride [(nacnac)V≡N(OAr)] forms the first thionitrosyl complex of vanadium, [(nacnac)-V(NSXOAr)]. Single crystal X-Ray diffraction studies and DFT calculations reveal an almost linear thionitrosyl ligand resulting from an extended π-resonance across the VNS moiety.
