Conclusions

  1. 1.

    In tetrahydrofuran medium on a dropping mercury electrode, vanadocene dichloride undergoes reversible one-electron reduction to a metastable vanadocene dichloride anion on the first wave; this anion is reversibly dehalogenated in the layer near the electrode, forming vanadocene monochloride. On the second wave there is an irreversible one-electron reduction of vanadocene monochloride to vanadocene. The reversible one-electron reduction of vanadocene on the third wave leads to the formation of a metastable anion Cp2V− as the primary product.

  2. 2.

    A general scheme is proposed for the electroreduction of metallocene dichlorides of subgroups IVB-VIB.
