The electrochemical properties of vanadyl(IV) derivatives, namely salen Schiff base complexes of the type [VO(Salen)] (5-BrSalen, 5-NO 2 Salen, 5-MeOSalen, salpn (bis(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-propanediamine, 5-BrSalpn, 5-NO 2 Salpn, 5-MeOSalpn, Me 2 Salen, Salophen, 5-BrSalophen, and 5-MeOSalophen) were investigated. The equatorial Schiff base ligands affect the oxidation potentials via interaction with the d-orbitals of the vanadyl metal ion. The cathodic peak potential (E pc ) becomes less negative according to the sequence MeO-< H-< Br-< NO 2 -.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
