Abstract
V K-edge XANES (XANES = X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure) spectra of the reaction solution of V(NAr)Cl2(OAr) (1, Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3) with halogenated Al alkyls (Me2AlCl, Et2AlCl, EtAlCl2, 50 equiv) in toluene showed low energy shifts (2.6–3.6 eV on the basis of inflection point in the photon energy) in the edge absorption accompanying slight shift to low photon energy in the pre-edge peak (λmax values); a similar spectrum was observed when the reaction of 1 with Me2AlCl was conducted in n-hexane. These results strongly suggest a formation of similar vanadium(III) species irrespective of kind of Al alkyls and solvent (toluene or n-hexane). Significant low-energy shifts in the edge absorption accompanied with diminishing the strong pre-edge absorption were also observed when VOCl3 or VO(OiPr)3 was treated with Me2AlCl (10 equiv) in toluene, clearly indicating a formation of low oxidation state vanadium species accompanied with certain structural changes (from tetrahedral to octahedral) in solution.
