Abstract: | Two mononuclear cis-dioxovanadium(V) complexes of pyrazole-derived, Schiff-base ligands have been synthesized and characterized. Single crystal X-ray analyses were performed with N ′-[(3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-yl)carbonyl]pyridine-2-carbohadrazonamido cis-dioxovanadium(V), {[VO2(PzOAP)] · H2O} (1), and 5-methyl-N-[(1E)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]-1H-pyrazole-3-carbohydrazonate cis-dioxovanadium(V), {[VO2(PzCAP)]} (2). Both complexes crystallize in monoclinic crystal systems with different space groups. Complex 1 crystallizes in the space group P21/c, 2 in space group C2/C. In each complex, the vanadium sits within a distorted square pyramidal geometry with an N2O3 chromophore. The τ parameters of the complexes (0.33 for 1, 0.22 for 2) support their square pyramidal geometry. The interesting finding in the work is that the alkoxide oxygen, imino nitrogen, and pyridine nitrogen take part in the coordination process leaving the pyrazole rings inactive in coordination. |
