A new complex containing the {OVv(μ-O)VvO}4+ unit has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Cyclic voltammogram of this complex showed that the two VV centers of the V2O3
4+ core are found to undergo electrochemical reduction in two distinctly separate steps not observed previously in similar systems. A rare mixed-oxidation state species [L(O)VIVOVV(O)L]- has been electrogenerated from the structurally characterized parent divanadium (V) species in solution state and characterized by IR, EPR, and electronic spectroscopy.
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.
