C. D. Sofield, M. D. Walter and R. A. Andersen

Abstract: The title compound, [V(C₁₁H₂₁Si₂)₂], crystallizes in space group C2/c with the V atom located on a twofold symmetry axis. The vanadium(II) center is coordinated by two 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl rings (Cp'') to form a slightly bent metallocene [Cp(centroid)-V-Cp(centroid) = 173.0 (1)°].
