Abstract: The title complex, (C₆H₁₈N₂)[V₂Cl₅(C₆H₁₆N₂)₂](C₂₄H₂₀B).C₄H₈O, was prepared by the reaction of [V₂Cl₃(THF)₆](BPh₄) with [FeCl₂(tmeda)₂] in the presence of one equivalent of tmeda (tmeda = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) in methanol. The crystal structure shows the tmeda to be coordinated to the vanadium core groups. The exchange of the diamine from iron to vanadium sheds new light on the mechanism of self-assembly of triangulo trinuclear complexes.
