A novel C3-symmetric propeller-shaped vanadium­(IV/V) oxide cluster complex, [V8O19(4,4′-tBubpy)3] (V8), has been synthesized from the reaction of the windmill-shaped vanadium­(V) oxide cluster complex [V8O20(4,4′-tBubpy)4] (V8) with PPh3 under N2, whereas refluxing V8 in methanol or ethanol under N2 provides tetranuclear oxido­(alkoxido)­vanadium­(IV/V) complexes [V4O6(OR)6(4,4′-tBubpy)2] [R = Me (V4′-Me) and Et (V4′-Et)]. The mixed-valent vanadium­(IV/V) clusters V8 and V4 are converted back to V8 under O2. Interconversions of V4 and the oxido­(alkoxido)­vanadium­(V) complexes [V4O8(OMe)4(4,4′-tBubpy)2] (V4) and [V7O17(OEt)­(4,4′-tBubpy)3] (V7-Et) are also presented.
