Tetrakis­(di­methyl­amido)­vanadium(IV)

The title compound, [V(C₂H₆N)₄], (I), has non-crystallographic D_2d molecular symmetry and contains an approximately tetrahedrally coordinated V atom with di­methyl­amido ligands. Each N atom features a nearly trigonal planar geometry. There are two independent mol­ecules of (I) in the asymmetric unit. The results are compared with those previously reported for gas-phase electron-diffraction studies [Haaland, Rypdal, Volden & Andersen (1992). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 891-895].
