Two short VN bonds and a long NN bond , as well as a sodium atom that is situated in the cavity created by the VNNV unit and two mesityl (mes) ligands are the intriguing characteristics of the anion of complex 1 . It is formed by the reduction of [V(mes) 3 (thf)] with Na under N 2 and on protonation yields NH 3 and N 2 H 4 . Two mes ligands at both V and V′ are omitted from the picture shown on the right.
