Cyclopentadienylvanadium tetracarbonyl is the

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]
