“…16 For vanadium, the chemistry of oxovanadium(IV) and (V) ions of the type VO 2+ , VO 3+ , VO 2+ 2 , and V 2 O 4+ 3 with a variety of ligands has widely been studied. 17,18 The VO 3+ ion, in particular because of its hard acidic nature, is known to exhibit rich chemistry with oxygen and nitrogen donor ligands. Of these, vanadium phenolates have been reported to display capabilities of dinitrogen fixation 19−21 and considerable significance for polymerization, 22 oxidation, 23 and potential shape-selective transformations.…”
