The reaction of N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (tpen) with VCl3 in CH3CN yields Cl3V(tpen)VCl3 which was hydrolyzed in water in the presence of oxygen affording [V2O2(μ-OH)2(tpen)]I2·2H2O, the crystal structure of which has been determined. A syn-{OV(μ-OH)2VO}2+ core has been identified where the V(IV) centers are antiferromagnetically coupled (J = −150 cm−1; g = 1.80).
