Comment top

The crystal structure and the thermal isomerization of [VO(3-EtO-sal-meso-stien)] have been investigated by the authors (Hoshina et al., 1999), together with the thermal dehydrogenation in the solid state (Hoshina et al., 1998, 2000).

In the crystals of [VO(3-tBu,5-Me-salen)], (I), the complex has an asymmetric distortion with a tBu—C···C—tBu torsion angle of 25.1° (Cornman et al., 1997). Distortion of the title compound in the crystal is moderate and the C9—C8···C37—C38 torsion angle is 10.1 (3)°°.

Experimental top

To a hot methanol solution (50 ml) of vanadium(IV) oxide sulfate (0.25 g, 1 mmol) were added H2(3-tBu-sal-meso-stien) (0.53 g, 1 mmol) and pyridine (2 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at 333 K. The resulting green precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with ether (yield 80%). Found: C 72.34, H 6.52, N 4.72%; calculated for C36H38N2O3V: C 72.35, H 6.41, N 4.69%. An analysis of the product by high-performance liquid reverse-phase chromatography suggested that only one of two possible geometrical isomers had been obtained. Crystals of the title compound, exo-[VO(3-tBu-sal-meso-stien)], were grown from an acetonitrile solution.

Refinement top

All H-atom positional parameters were calculated geometrically, and fixed with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom).

Special details top

Refinement. Refinement using reflections with F2 > 0.0 σ(F2). The weighted R-factor (wR), goodness of fit (S) and R-factor (gt) are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt).
