Recent investigations into the coordinative properties of oligodentate phosphorus ligands towards carbonylvanadium and -niobium complexes in our laboratory have lead to a large body of systematic IR, 31P and metal NMR data, including those on CpV(C0)4 and CpNb(C0)4 derivatives with ditertiary [2-5] and tritertiary phosphines [6, 7]. In this communication, we report on the reaction pattern obser...

Bbstract Recent developments involving polymer-supported metal complexes as catalysts in oxidation reactions, using dioxygen, hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides, hypochlorite anion and iodosobenzene as oxidants are reviewed. binding of dioxygen, and in catalysis, along with the structurally closely related metallo-phthalocyanines, oxidative polymerization catalysed by polymer-supported cop...

Structurally well-defined bimetallic titanium(IV) (salen) and monometallic vanadium(V) (salen) complexes have been used as catalysts for the asymmetric addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to β-nitroalkenes to produce chiral nitronitriles with ee values in the range of 79-89 % and conversions up to 100 % at 0 °C. The reaction conditions (solvent, temperature, time and vanadium complex counter-ion...

Though vanadium complexes mimic the action of insulin, owing to their toxicity, research is still in progress for a new vanadium complex with maximum efficacy at low concentration and without any side effects. A novel macrocyclic binuclear oxovanadium complex was synthesized, its composition and structure were confirmed by spectral studies and its efficacy was studied in streptozotocin-induced ...

Molecular structures of the isolated tetrahedral oxovanadium(IV) and bridged μ-oxo-divanadium(IV) complexes hosted by the clusters mimicking surfaces of amorphous silica-based materials were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Principal values of the g and A tensors for the monomer vanadyl species were obtained using the coupled-perturbed DFT level of theory and the...

The chemistry of Schiff base has received remarkable attention in different applications, both organic synthesis and industries. Over the past few years many reports have been on synthesis, characterization application vanadium complexes. However, heterogeneous catalysts are active for various oxidation reactions, making catalytic hydrocarbons a great interest. This review summarizes recent dev...

The title compound, C(14)H(17)NO(5)S, was prepared by oxidation of (2R,3S,4R)-2-phenyl-sulfonyl-methyl-1-hy-droxy-3,4-iso-pro-pyl-idene-dioxy-pyrrolidine. Its crystal structure confirms unequivocally its configuration. Two inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions help to establish the packing.
