Analysis of v(CO) infrared spectra has shown that Na+ cation interacts specifically with the CO group trans to substituent ligands of LV(CO)5- (L = PPh3, P(OPh)3, P(n-Bu)3 and CNMe). Such site selectivity was predicted on the basis of asymmetric electron distribution in such anions as reflected in calculated Cotton-Kraihanzel CO stretching force constante. The Et4N+ cation was also found to form a close interaction with LV(CO)5-; however, the specific geometrical form could not be discerned. P-donor ligand substitution reactions of PV(CO)5- were found to follow a dissociative mechanism. Vanadium-phosphorus bond cleavage was counterion dependent, with the tightly interacting Na+ promoting faster dissociation rates.
