Vanadyl salen complexes covalently anchored to an imidazolium ion as catalysts for the cyanosilylation of aldehydes in ionic liquids

Two vanadyl salen complexes having peripheral styryl substituents have been reacted with 1-methyl-3-(3-mercaptopropyl)-imidazolium chloride using azoisobutyronitrile as radical initiator. The resulting compounds contain at the same time a vanadyl salen complex and one imidazolium cation. In agreement with the expectations in view of their structure, these compounds were insoluble in conventional organic solvents, but completely miscible in imidazolium ionic liquids. These vanadyl salen complexes bonded to an imidazolium cation are highly active and reusable catalysts for the cyanosilylation of aldehydes. Moderate enantiomeric excesses were obtained using the chiral version of this complex.     

Thermal decomposition of ammonium vanadyl oxalate supported on various oxides

The thermal decomposition of ammonium vanadyl oxalate supported on La₂O₃, MgO, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, TiO₂, SAPO-5, and ZSM-5 oxides in a dynamic atmosphere of dry air was compared by thermal gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The calcined catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The TG and DTA results demonstrate that the surface acid-base properties of the oxides play a significant role in the decomposition behaviour of the supported ammonium vanadyl oxalate, i.e. the basic oxides exhibit an endothermic effect and the acidic oxides show an exothermic effect. Two mechanisms are suggested for thermal decomposition of ammonium vanadyl oxalate on basic and acidic oxides, respectively. After transformation of the ammonium vanadyl oxalate to vanadia, subsequent rearrangement of the vanadia on the surface of the supports was also observed. During the thermal treatment or calcination in air, solid state reactions of vanadia with the surface of oxides such as La₂O₃, ZrO₂ and TiO₂ took place to form new phases.     

Possible Mechanisms of Intercalation

Recent knowledge of the kinetics and intercalation mechanisms are summarized and accompanied by examples of intercalation reactions of water and ethanol into anhydrous vanadyl phosphate and redox intercalation of alkali metal cations into vanadyl phosphate dihydrate. Three possible mechanisms of intercalation are presented which are based on: (i) a concept of exfoliation of layers; (ii) the formation of stages and randomly stacked layers; (iii) co-existence of intercalated and non-intercalated parts of crystals of the host separated by an advancing phase boundary. The corresponding kinetic curves are ascribed to mechanisms (ii) and (iii).     

Formation of a disordered layer lattice during the intercalation of water into anhydrous vanadyl phosphate

The course of intercalation of water into ₁-VOPO₄ has been studied by thermomechanical analysis and X-ray diffraction. Neither formation of vanadyl phosphate monohydrate nor staging were observed during the intercalation. The broadening and the shift of the positions of the lines in the diffractograms have been explained by the random stacking of intercalated and nonintercalated layers in the sample.     

Synthesis and study of binuclear vanadyl complexes with acyldihydrazones of salicylaldehyde and dicarboxylic acids

The binuclear vanadyl(ii) complexes [(VO)₂·2Py·2EtOH]·mH₂O with acyldihydrazones of salicylaldehyde (H₄L) and dicarboxylic acids were synthesized and studied. In these complexes, two chelate vanadyl(ii) complexes with the tridentate bicyclic ligands are linked to each other by the polymethylene bridges —(CH₂) _n — of different lengths varying from one to four units. The ESR spectra of solutions of these complexes, unlike those of analogous copper(ii) complexes, have an isotropic signal with an eight-line hyperfine structure (g = 1.972, a _V = 93·10^–4 cm^–1) typical of monomeric vanadyl complexes, which indicates that no exchange interactions occur between the paramagnetic centers through the polymethylene chain.     

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE INVESTIGATION OF VANADYL COMPLEXES OF TRIDENTATE LIGAND (Ⅰ)——THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF BIS[(1-(2,4-PENTANE- DIONATO(NITROBENZOYL) HYDRAZONE)-2- ETHOXY)OXOVANADIUM] AND BIS-[(1-(2, 4-PENTANEDIONATO-(3-NITROBENZOYL) HYDRAZONE)-2- METHO

The title complexes were obtained by the reactions of bis(2,4-pentanedionato)oxovanadium VO(Acac)_2 and m-nitrophenylhydrazide m-NO_2PhCONHNH_2 in the media EtOH and MeOH respectively. The compound (Ⅰ) crystallizes in the space group PT with unit cell dimensions a=8.123(2), b=10.409(5), c=10.822(4), α=65.78(3)°, β=85.50(3)°,γ=89.04(3)°. The compound (Ⅱ) crystallizes in the space group P2_1/a with unit cell dimensions a=7.745(2), b=19.164(5), c=10.787(4), β=107.87(2)°. The resuhs of structural analyses show that the two compounds have the same characteristics: the tridentate ligand formed by condensation occupies three of the four equatorial positions of vanadium and the rest equatorial position is occupied by alkoxy group RO~-. As RO~-group also bridges the sixth coordinated position of each vanadium atom, it brings about the formation of the new type binuclear complexes of vanadium.     

Synthesis,characterization and α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase inhibition studies of novel vanadyl chalcone complexes

A series of chalcone ligands and their corresponding vanadyl complexes of composition [VO (L^I–IV)₂(H₂O)₂]SO₄ (where L^I = 1,3‐Diphenylprop‐2‐en‐1‐one, L^II = 3‐(2‐Hydroxy‐phenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐propenone, L^III = 3‐(3‐Nitro‐phenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐propenone, L^IV = 3‐(4‐Methoxy‐phenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐propenone) have been synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic (Fourier‐transform infrared, electrospray ionization mass, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance, thermogravimetric analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer) and physico‐analytic techniques. Antidiabetic activities of synthesized complexes along with chalcones were evaluated by performing in vitro and in silico α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase inhibition studies. The obtained results displayed moderate to significant inhibition activity against both the enzymes by vanadyl chalcone complexes. The most potent complexes were further investigated for the enzyme kinetic studies and displayed the mixed inhibition for both the enzymes. Further, antioxidant activity of vanadyl chalcone complexes was evaluated for their efficiency to release oxidative stress using 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picryl‐hydrazyl‐hydrate assay, and two complexes (Complexes 2 and 4 ) have demonstrated remarkable antioxidant activity. All the complexes were found to possess promising antidiabetic and antioxidant potential.     

Dianionic Titanyl and Vanadyl (Cation+)2[MIVO(Pc4−)]2− Phthalocyanine Salts Containing Pc4− Macrocycles

In this study, the titanyl and vanadyl phthalocyanine (Pc) salts (Bu₄N⁺)₂[M^IVO(Pc^4?)]^2? (M=Ti, V) and (Bu₃MeP⁺)₂[M^IVO(Pc^4?)]^2? (M=Ti, V) with [M^IVO(Pc^4?)]^2? dianions were synthesized and characterized. Reduction of M^IVO(Pc^2?) carried out with an excess of sodium fluorenone ketyl in the presence of Bu₄N⁺ or Bu₃MeP⁺ is exclusive to the phthalocyanine centers, forming Pc^4? species. During reduction, the metal +4 charge did not change, implying that Pc is an non‐innocent ligand. The Pc negative charge increase caused the C?N(pyr) bonds to elongate and the C?N(imine) bonds to alternate, thus increasing the distortion of Pc. Jahn–Teller effects are significant in the [eg(π*)]² dianion ground state and can additionally distort the Pc macrocycles. Blueshifts of the Soret and Q‐bands were observed in the UV/Vis/NIR when M^IVO(Pc^2?) was reduced to [M^IVO(Pc ^{. 3?})] ^{. ?} and [M^IVO(Pc^4?)]^2?. From magnetic measurements, [Ti^IVO(Pc^4?)]^2? was found to be diamagnetic and (Bu₄N⁺)₂[V^IVO(Pc^4?)]^2? and (Bu₃MeP⁺)₂[V^IVO(Pc^4?)]^2? were found to have magnetic moments of 1.72–1.78 μ_B corresponding to an S=1/2 spin state owing to V^IV electron spin. As a result, two latter salts show EPR signals with V^IV hyperfine coupling.     

Host Lattice Effect on Paramagnetic Impurity: Single Crystal EPR Study of VO(II)‐Doped Biomineral Cadmium Ammonium Phosphate Hexahydrate

Single crystal electron paramagnetic resonance studies on VO(II) doped cadmium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate were carried out at room temperature. The paramagnetic impurity VO(II) was found to enter the host lattice both substitutionally and interstitially. The spin Hamiltonian parameter values calculated from crystal rotations for both the locations are; Site1: g_∥ = 1.939, g_⟂ = 1.992, A_∥ = 16.3mT, A_⟂ = 7.7mT and site2: g_∥ = 1.933, g_⟂ = 1.998, A_∥ = 16.2mT, A_⟂ = 7.7mT. The powder spectra values agree well with the single crystal data. The two sites have been identified as at right angles to each other. The admixture coefficients and other parameter values (κ and P) were evaluated from the spin Hamiltonian parameters. The complex was found to be fairly covalent in nature.
