The reaction of oxidovanadium sulfate VOSO4¡¤3H2O with 4,4¡ä-di-tert-butyl-2,2¡ä-bipyridine (dtb-bpy) in methanol was found to give the complex (VO)2(¦Ì2-SO4)2(dtb-bpy)2(CH3OH)2¡¤4CH3OH (lass=""boldFont"">1). Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that molecule lass=""boldFont"">1 is a centrosymmetric dimer consisting of two {VO(¦Ì2-SO4)(dtb-bpy)(CH3OH)} moieties linked by two bridging sulfate anions. Each vanadium atom is in a distorted octahedral environment formed by two nitrogen and four oxygen atoms. The further reaction of an ethanolic solution of compound lass=""boldFont"">1 with sodium pivalate in CH3CN produces the new dinuclear complex [(VO)2(¦Ì2-O)2(¦Ì2-SO4)(dtb-bpy)2]¡¤2CH3CN (lass=""boldFont"">2), which does not include pivalate ligands, but contains one bridging sulfate anion and two bridging oxygen atoms. The X-ray study, cyclic voltammetry and magnetic measurements were performed allowing to conclude that both vanadium centers in lass=""boldFont"">2 are in +5 oxidation state. According to ESR studies the dinuclear complex lass=""boldFont"">1 undergoes dissociation upon dissolution in ethanol yielding mononuclear species VO(¦Ì2-SO4)(dtb-bpy)(CH3OH), while solution of lass=""boldFont"">1 in dichloromethane contains ¡°dimers¡± exhibiting spin-spin exchange interactions between two paramagnetic monomeric fragments.
