Abstract
The reaction of the acyclic phosphazene ligand, HN{P(NMe2)2NSiMe3}2 (1) with NH4VO3 in 1:1 molar ratio resulted in the formation of an ionic species N{P(NMe2)2NH2}+ 2 {VO4(SiMe3)2}− (2) in quantitative yield. The reaction shows the migration of silyl group from the terminal nitrogen atoms of the phosphazene ligand 1 to the oxygen of the vanadyl group. Compound 2 crystallizes as monomer in the solid state. The X-ray structure of the phosphazenium salt, N{P(NMe2)2NH2}+ 2Cl− (3) has also been described which crystallizes as a polymeric zig-zag chain in the solid state.
