Inorganica Chimica Acta 319, 147-158.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/153Reactions between a variety of vanadium(II) and iron(II) starting materials in tetrahydrofuran (thf) solution afforded di-, tri-, and tetra-nuclear complexes containing thf or N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen) as ligands. Most products were ionic and contained the two metals in different structural units, cation or anion. Trinuclear clusters formulated as [V3−xFexCl₅(tmen)₃][BPh₄](x=0–3) were obtained and characterised by C, H, N and metal analyses, ¹H NMR, Mössbauer, and positive ion FAB and electrospray mass spectroscopies, and magnetic moment measurements in solution. We characterised fully by low-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis the mixed-metal triangulo-complex salt [V₂Fe(μ-Cl)₃(μ₃-Cl)₂(tmen)₃][BPh₄].enThis article is published in the journal Inorganica Chimica Acta, (c) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.Crystal structuresIron(II) complexesVanadium(II) complexesTriangulo-trimetal complexesJournal Article10.1016/S0020-1693(01)00450-9
