Abstract Imidovanadium(V) Trichlorides The reactions of Me3SiN=VCl3 (1) with MeOH, PhOH, HCl, PyH+Cl- or LiOtBu have been studied. The reductive decomposition of 1 by hydrogen chloride in toluene yields HN=VCl3 as a labile intermediate which could be isolated only in a small amount. The syntheses of RN=VCl3 (R = neopent, nPr, cyclohex, CPh3, 1-Ad) and [(tBuN)2V2Cl4(μ-OC13H9)2] (15) are also described
