Cyclopentadienylvanadium tetracarbonyl is the organovanadium compound with the formula (C5H5)V(CO)4. An orange, diamagnetic solid, it is the principal cyclopentadienyl carbonyl of vanadium. It can be prepared by heating a solution of vanadocene under high pressure of carbon monoxide. As confirmed by X-ray crystallography, the coordination sphere of vanadium consists of η5-cyclopentadienyl and four carbonyl ligands. The molecule is a four-legged piano stool complex.[1] The compound is soluble in common organic solvents.[2] The compound has no commercial applications.

Reactions

Reduction with sodium amalgam gives the dianion of the tricarbonyl:

CpV(CO)4 + 2 Na → Na2CpV(CO)3 + CO

Protonation of this salt gives Cp2V2(CO)5.[3]

Heating a mixture of cycloheptatriene and cyclopentadienylvanadium tetracarbonyl gives (cycloheptatrienyl)(cyclopentadienyl)vanadium ("trovacene").[4]
