Reduction of bis(η6-arene)vanadium(0) complexes with potassium gives the corresponding bis(η6-arene)vanadium(-I) derivatives (arene = C6H6, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3) as their K+ salts. A single-crystal diffraction study of solvated K[(η6-1,3,5-C6H3Me3) 2V] shows that the anion presents two different rotameric configurations in the solid, though the sandwich structure is preserved, and that contact ion pairs are established with the K+ cations, which also interact with THF and dioxane solvent molecules. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P21, a = 10.213 (2) A?, b = 18.518 (3) A?, c = 13.402 (3) A?, β = 89.58 (1)°, V = 2534.6 A?3, and Z = 4.
