Vanadium O-Centered Selenoiodide Complex: Synthesis and Structure of V4O(Se2)4I6·I2

“…Synthesis of VSCl 2 is also mentioned, but it has not been isolated in crystalline form. Reported a decade ago, V 4 S 9 Br 4 is the only compound characterized enough, which has aroused interest due to its magnetic − and thermochemical properties . Despite this circumstance, the synthesis and study of new TMCHs (including vanadium) are of interest from the fundamental point of view, for instance, in course of studying vapor transport processes .…”

“…Reported a decade ago, V 4 S 9 Br 4 27 is the only compound characterized enough, which has aroused interest due to its magnetic 28−30 and thermochemical properties. 31 Despite this circumstance, the synthesis and study of new TMCHs (including vanadium) are of interest from the fundamental point of view, for instance, in course of studying vapor transport processes. 32 In particular, such issues as the similarity in the chemical behavior of vanadium and its heavier analogues remain unresolved: can vanadium form compounds similar to those that form niobium and tantalum?…”
