A series of vanadium(III) diiodide complexes of the formula CpV(PRNR'PR)I2 (Cp = 5-C5H5; PRNR'PR = (R2PCH2)2N(R)), where R = Et, R = Me (1a), R = Ph (1b); R = Ph, R = Me (1c)) is reported. The corresponding vanadium(II) monoiodide complexes of the formula CpV(PRNR'PR)I, where R = Et, R = Me (2a), R = Ph (2b); R = Ph, R = Me (2c)) were prepared in THF by reduction of 1a-c with Zn powder. The paramagnetic complexes 1a-c and 2a-c are characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and by cyclic voltammetry for complexes 2b and 4b. Complexes 1c and 2a-c were also characterized in the single crystal by X-ray crystallography. We report the preparation of the vanadium(II) complexes CpV(PPh2NPh2)I (3) (PPh2NPh2 = 1,5-diphenyl-3,7-diphenyl-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane) and trans-[VCl2(PEtNMePEt)2] (4a) and trans-[VCl2(PEtNPhPEt)2] (4b). These complexes represent initial coordination chemistry of vanadium complexes with PRNR'PR and PPh2NPh2 diphosphine ligands, which contain a pendant amine in the second coordination sphere.
