A re-examination of the synthesis and characterization of the three-coordinate vanadium(III) amide V{N(SiMe3)2}3 has afforded previously unreported full structural details, as well as the finding that it has a violet color rather than the earlier reported brown. This amide and its green chromium analogue display a rich redox behavior which allows the isolation of several lower oxidation state M(II) and M(I) (M = V or Cr) complexes. The spectroscopic, magnetic properties and structural properties of the new complexes will be the main theme of the presentation.
