Ferromagnetic oxovanadium(IV) complexes chelated with tetrahalosalen ligands

Recent reports on vanadium based coordination polymers and MOFs

Coordination polymers (CP) and metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have become a topic of immense interest in this century primarily because of the structural diversity that they offer. This structural diversity results in their multifaceted utility in various fields of science and technology such as catalysis, medicine, gas storage or separation, conductivity and magnetism. Their utility inspires a large variety of scientists to engage with them in their scientific pursuit thus creating a buzz around them in the scientific community. Metals capable of forming CPs and MOFs are primarily transition metals. Among them vanadium-based CPs and MOFs demand detailed discussion because of the unique nature of vanadium which makes it stable in many oxidation states and coordination number. Vanadium’s versatility imparts additional structural marvel and usefulness to these CPs and MOFs.

DFT study on the redox behavior of two dioxovanadium(v) complexes with N2O donor Schiff base ligands and their use in catalytic oxidation ofortho-aminophenol

Solution phase redox behavior of two vanadium(v) Schiff base complexes was checked. The results agree well with DFT calculations. Both complexes exhibited good catalytic efficiency for the conversion ofo-aminophenol to 2-aminophenoxazine-3-one.

Assemblies of salen-type oxidovanadium(iv) complexes: substituent effects and in vitro protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibition

A systematic study of 5,5′-disubstituted oxidovanadium(iv) complexes with a chiral salen type ligand showed variable assemblies of complex molecules dependent on steric and electronic factors of the substituents.
