Abstract
Five new cyclohexylamine and morpholine adducts of oxovanadium(IV) dithiocarboxylates have been isolated. The compounds have been characterized by analytical, magnetochemical, IR and visible-UV spectral methods and are assigned the formula [VO(RCS2)2 B] (B= cyclohexylamine or morpholine and R = n-pentyl, n-hexyl, iso-octyl, cyclohexyl or phenyl). The effect of adduct formation on the πv=0 bond is discussed in terms of the O, V-S and V-N stretching freguencies and d-d transitions.
