The title compound, [V2Cl4O2(CH3CN)4], is a centrosymmetric dinuclear VIV complex associated with four molecules of acetonitrile. The coordination around both VIV atoms is essentially square-planar, involving three Cl atoms and one O atom [maximum deviation = 0.017 (3) Å for the O atom]. The augmented octahedral coordination of the metal atom is completed by the N atoms of acetonitrile ligands. The VIV atoms are linked by two Cl atoms, acting as bridging atoms. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a ratio of the two twin components of 0.8200 (3):0.1800 (3). Although Cl and O atoms are present as potential acceptors in the title compound, no hydrogen bonds were observed in the crystal structure.

The title compound was obtained by the reaction of VOCl3 with N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea in acetonitrile. N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea (3.0 mmol) was dissolved in 100 cm3 of dry acetonitrile at 70 °C. The solutoin of VOCl3 (2.6 mmol) in in dry acetonitrile (50 cm3) was quickly added to the solution of N, N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 17 h. The solvent was partially distilled off after the reaction and the total volume was reduced to 25 cm3. Dry CCl4 (25 cm3) was consequently added to the concentrated acetonitrile solution and two liquid phases were formed. Blue crystals of [(µ-Cl)2(VOCl2(CH3CN)2)2] grew up from the surface of the denser phase after 4 days standing at room temperature.
The investigated crystal was a non-merohedral twin [twin law: rotation of 180° around the [101] direction].. The
was determined using TwinRotMat implemented in PLATON (Spek, 2009). The coefficient of the crystal is 0.180040. The description of in transformation matrix is: (0.397 - 0.364 0.603) (0.000 - 1.000 0.000) (1.397 - 0.364 - 0.397) The detwinned data were obtained by HKLF 5 option in the SHELXL97 program (Sheldrick, 2008) and the final was carried out against the detwinned data set.Vanadium(IV) compounds exert biological activity such as inhibition for some phosphatases (D'Cruz et al., 2003; Lopez et al., 1976), modulation of cell's
(Lu et al., 2001) or catalysis of the generation of reactive oxygen species (Shi et al., 1996). The oxovanadium(IV) complexes exhibit rapid selective spermicidal effects and their anti-HIV activity was studied too (D'Cruz et al., 2003). Chlorovanadium(IV) compounds are also used for catalysis in homogenous Ziegler-Natta polymerizations to prepare high-molecular-weight polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution (Hagen et al., 2002).The dichloro(oxo)vanadium(IV) complex with acetonitrile was prepared for the first time by the reaction of VOCl2 with dry acetonitrile (du Preez et al. , 1967). The structure characteristic of the reaction product was performed only by means of UV, IR and conductivity measurements. The constitution of this reaction product was determined as VOCl2.2.5CH3CN. The only known
of acetonitrile adduct with dichloro(oxo)vanadium complex is to our knowledge [H3Np-tolyl][VOCl3(MeCN)2], which was prepared by the refluxing of [V(Np-tolyl)Cl3] in acetonitrile (Homden et al., 2009).It is known a lot of VOCl2 adducts with organic solvents, namely VOCl2.2THF (Kern, 1962) and trans-VOCl2(THF)2(H2O) (Papoutsakis et al., 2004; Priebsch et al., 1990), cis-VOCl2(CH3OH)3 (Papoutsakis et al., 2004), trans-VOCl2(Et2O)2(H2O)2 (Papoutsakis et al., 2004) or VOCl2(HMPA)2 (du Preez et al., 1967). These adducts are presented in the known crystal structures as monomers in all cases (Papoutsakis et al., 2004; Priebsch et al., 1990). All of these complexes pick up very easily to the vanadium coordination sphere water molecules, therefore there are known only as water adducts (Papoutsakis et al., 2004). On this account, it is necessary to keep strictly nonaqueous solution to obtain dichloro(oxo)vanadium complexes without water in the vanadium coordination sphere.

of the title compound consists of a single vanadium(IV) complex molecule associated with four molecules of acetonitrile (Fig. 1). Both of chlorine bridge atoms are situated essentially in the same plane with vanadium atoms, as demonstrated by torsion angles V1—Cl1—V1A—Cl1A 0.0° and O1—V1—Cl1—V1A, which is 179.36 (11)°, respectively.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

All of these complexes pick up very easily to the vanadium coordination sphere water molecules, therefore there are known only as water adducts (Papoutsakis et al., 2004). On this account, it is necessary to keep strictly nonaqueous solution to obtain dichloro(oxo)vanadium complexes without water in the vanadium coordination sphere.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of a single vanadium(IV) complex molecule associated with four molecules of acetonitrile (Fig. 1). Both of chlorine bridge atoms are situated essentially in the same plane with vanadium atoms, as demonstrated by torsion angles V1—Cl1—V1A—Cl1A 0.0° and O1—V1—Cl1—V1A, which is 179.36 (11)°, respectively. The angle describing the triple bond in acetonitrile is N2≡C3—C4 179.6 (4)° and N1≡C1—C2 179.1 (4)°, respectively. The crystal packing is showed in Fig. 2.
