%X Vanadium(III) Schiff base chelates of the types V(chel)Cl,py (chel = saen, saph) and V(saen)Cl,py2 have been synthesized by allowing VCl3 and the ligand to react in pyridine solutions. The bromo derivatives V(saen)Br,py and V(saph)Br,py2 can be obtained by LiBr substitution. The magnetic and spectral properties of the complexes are consistent with tetragonally distorted octahedral structures, though the &#956;eff value for V(saen)Cl,py is slightly lower than expected and difficult to explain with certainty.
