The reaction of with SiMe3I in acetonitrile under reflux yielded a vanadium(II) cation (2+) with a counter ion I4(2-).The latter is not symmetrical, though linear, and the reasons are discussed.The new compound diiodotetrakis(tetrahydrofuran)vanadium(II) is shown to be a versatile precursor for vanadium diiodides, such as , the structure of which has also been determined.
