Control of Exchange Interactions in Trinuclear Complexes Based on Orthogonal Magnetic Orbitals
2009
The reaction of copper(II) acetate with the tetradentate Schiff base like ligand H4L {(E,E)-[{diethyl 2,2′-[4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-phenylenebis(iminomethylidyne)]bis(3-oxobutanoate)}] leads to the formation of the square planar N2O2 coordinated complex [H2CuL]. Reaction of two equivalents of this complex with copper(II) acetylacetonato or vanadyl(IV) acetylacetonato yields the trinuclear complexes [V(O)Cu2L2][N(nBu)4]2·2MeOH (1) and [Cu3L2][N(nBu)4]2·2DMF (2). Both complexes were characterised by using magnetic measurements and X-ray crystallography. Special attention was given to the spin-exchange coupling through the bridging phenylene ring. The principle of strict orthogonality of the magneti…
Prediction of Magnetic Properties in Oxovanadium(IV) Phosphates: The Role of the Bridging PO4 Anions
1998
Oxovanadium phosphates constitute a crystallochemically very rich family that, in turn, results in a seemingly intricate magnetochemistry including from isolated dimers to 3-D systems. This magnetic diversity is due, in part, to the possible participation of phosphate groups in the spin transfer between VIV centers. This way, 31P solid-state NMR becomes a key tool in determining the exchange paths involving phosphorus orbitals. The magnetic behavior of several layered oxovanadium phosphates M(VOPO4)2·4H2O (M = Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, and Pb2+) has been investigated. Like it occurs in the case of other previously studied lamellar derivatives, the best fit of the temperature-dependent magnetic susce…
Ziegler–Natta catalysts based on vanadium halides: a DFT study
2003
Abstract Ziegler–Natta ethylene insertion into the carbon–metal bond for a number of fragments containing vanadium on different oxidation states as well as the halogen ligands has been studied by means of DFT. It is shown that the complexation and insertion energies are strongly influenced by the charge on the transition metal atom and, to some extent, by the electronegativity of the halogen atom. Complexation energy varies in the range −129 to −159 kJ/mol for charged species and −64 to −77 kJ/mol for neutral ones. Insertion energy follows a similar pattern and ranges from −28 to −62 and −82 to −100 kJ/mol, respectively. The calculated values are compared with the experimental results and d…
Oxidative dehydrogenation of n-butane on MgO-supported vanadium oxide catalysts
1998
Abstract Vanadium–magnesium oxide (VMgO) catalysts have been prepared, characterized and tested in the ODH of n-butane. The catalysts were prepared by two variations of the wet-impregnation method using aqueous ammonium metavanadate or organically-based methanolic vanadyl acetylacetonate solutions. The catalyst surface area depends on the vanadium content and the preparation method. Catalyst characterization (i.e. XRD, 51V NMR, FTIR, LRS) results indicate the presence of poor crystalline Mg-orthovanadate (Mg3V2O8), while the presence of other Mg-vanadates is not clear. Oxygen isotopic-exchange experiments on VMgO catalysts indicate an R2 process: [ 18 O 2 +2 16 O 2− (s) → ( 18 O 18 O 16 O 1…
2-Tetrahydrofurfuroxo-vanadium-(III) and -(IV) complexes. Synthesis, structures and reactivities of [V2Mg2(μ3,δ2-thffo)2(μ,δ2-thffo)4Cl4]· 2CH2Cl2 an…
1997
Vanadium complexes of 2-tetrahydrofurfuroxide (2-tetrahydrofurylmethoxide) (thffo) with the metal in oxidation state III and IV have been prepared and characterized. The reaction of [VCl3(thf)3] with 1.5 equivalents of [Mg(thffo)2] in tetrahydrofuran (thf) or CH2Cl2 led to the formation of [V2Mg2(µ3,η2-thffo)2(µ,η2-thffo)4Cl4]· 2CH2Cl21. Its structure consists of centrosymmetric tetranuclear molecules and CH2Cl2 of crystallization. Two Mg and two V atoms have distorted octahedral geometry and form a nearly regular Mg2V2 rhombus. The V · · · V distance is 3.266(2) A. The reaction of [VOCl2(thf)2] with Na(thffo) in thf yielded [V2(µ,η2-thffo)2Cl2O2] 2. Two VOCl units are linked by alkoxide ox…
Selective Oxidation of n-Butane and Butenes over Vanadium-Containing Catalysts
2000
Abstract The oxidative dehydrogenation (OXDH) of n-butane, 1-butene, and trans-2-butene on different vanadia catalysts has been compared. MgO, alumina, and Mg–Al mixed oxides with Mg/(Al+Mg) ratios of 0.25 and 0.75 were used as supports. The catalytic data indicate that the higher the acid character of catalysts the lower is both the selectivity to C4-olefins from n-butane and the selectivity to butadiene from both 1-butene or trans-2-butene. Thus, OXDH reactions are mainly observed from n-butane and butenes on basic catalysts. The different catalytic performance of both types of catalysts is a consequence of the isomerization of olefins on acid sites, which appears to be a competitive reac…
Selective oxidative activation of isobutane on a novel vanadium-substituted bimodal mesoporous oxide V-UVM-7
2006
Abstract New vanado-silicates with a bimodal mesoporous system (V-UVM-7) and high vanadium contents (Si/V ≥ 7) have been prepared by a modification of the so-called atrane method. Its morphology consists of aggregation of nano-particles with V-MCM-41 structure, creating a second broader porous system in their interparticle space. Its structure allows to incorporate a high V contents into tetrahedral sites of the framework while keeping vanadium dispersion. V-UVM-7 catalysts are very active and selective for the direct transformation of isobutane to isobutene and methacrolein. Total conversion and methacrolein-to-isobutene ratio in the products increased with increasing vanadium contents. Th…
A Vanadium(III) Complex with Blue and NIR-II Spin-Flip Luminescence in Solution.
2020
Luminescence from Earth-abundant metal ions in solution at room temperature is a very challenging objective due to the intrinsically weak ligand field splitting of first-row transition metal ions, which leads to efficient nonradiative deactivation via metal-centered states. Only a handful of 3d
Impact of Vanadium(IV)-Oxy Acetylacetonate and Vanadium(III) Acetylacetonatel on the DPPC Liposome Membranes: EPR Studies
2017
The effect of vanadium (IV)-oxy acetylacetonate (V4) and vanadium(III) acetylacetonate (V3) on the liposome membranes formed of synthetic lecithin (DPPC) was presented in this paper. Liposomes were formed during the sonication of DPPC lecithin in an aqueous medium. The concentration of the vanadium compounds changed in the range of 0% to 2.4% in molar ratio to the lecithin. The EPR technique made use of three spin probes penetrating the different areas of the membrane (as follows: TEMPO, 16-DOXYL stearic acid methyl ester, stearic acid 5-DOXYL methyl ester). TEMPO probe penetrates the interphase water-lipid (partition parameter F), the probe 16-DOXYL locates in the middle of the lipid bilay…
Effective low temperature reduction of graphene oxide with vanadium(iii)
2014
Reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with vanadium(III) trichloride under various reaction conditions has been investigated. The results show that V(III) can be used as an efficient reducing agent for GO in aqueous solutions at low concentrations and in moderate temperatures under ambient conditions. The IR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) show that the structure of the vanadium-reduced material is similar to reduced graphene oxide prepared using TiCl3 or hydrazine as a reducing agent. The electrical conductivity of the material is also similar in all cases. However, on the basis of the XPS results, vanadium-based reduction does not leave significant reductant impurities …
