Two purely inorganic three-dimensional (3D) frameworks [Mn4(H2O)11V(IV)(18)O42(PO4)](7-) (1) and [Mn2(H2O)7V(IV)(18)O42(PO4)](11-) (2) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and PXRD. Structural analysis revealed that these two compounds contained a similar all reduced polyox...

The protective effect of magnesium as magnesium sulfate (MS) on sodium-metavanadate- (SMV-) induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) under in vivo and in vitro conditions was studied. The 18-week SMV intoxication (Group II, 0.125 V(end)/mL) enhanced spontaneous malondialdehyde (MDA) generation in rat liver, compared with the control (Group I) and MS-supplemented animals (Group III, 0.06 Mg(end)/mL). Co...

A series of novel vanadium silicates with open-framework and microporous structures has been synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. Ten distinct framework types have been identified that all have structures based on cross-linking single silicate sheets with square pyramidal V(IV)O(5) units to give compounds with the general formula A(r)[(VO)(s)(Si(2)O(5))(p)(SiO(2))(q)].tH(2)O, where A...

The first observation of a spin polarized excited state of a paramagnetic metal-complex using time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) spectroscopy is reported for octaethylporphinatooxovanadium(iv). The TREPR spectra show well resolved orientation dependent hyperfine splitting to the I = 7/2 vanadium nucleus. The reduction of the hyperfine splitting by a factor of 3 compared to th...

The influence of the vanadium load and calcination temperature on the structural characteristics of the V2O5/TiO2 system was studied by X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques. Samples of the V2O5/TiO2 system were prepared by the sol–gel method under acid conditions and calcined at different temperatures. The rutile phase was found to predominate in pure TiO2 calcin...

This paper examines vanadium chloride solutions as electrolytes for an all-vanadium redox flow battery. The chloride solutions were capable of dissolving more than 2.3 M vanadium at varied valence states and remained stable at 0-50 °C. The improved stability appeared due to the formation of a vanadium dinuclear [V(2)O(3)·4H(2)O](4+) or a dinuclear-chloro complex [V(2)O(3)Cl·3H(2)O](3+) in the s...

Molybdenum-based Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) containing vanadium, with the formula H3+xPMo12 xVxO40 (MPAV) and x varying from0 to 3, exhibit unique catalytic properties because of their bifunctional nature and have been investigated as catalysts both for acidic and for oxidative reactions. 3 The addition of vanadium centers are beneficial for redox catalysis, shifting the molybdophosphoric a...

The essential goal of this research is to evaluate the modification process on phase transformation, matrix chemical composition, and precipitated carbide types for modified SAE-AISI T1 steel their effects hardness values after optimum heat treatment conditions. This adopts alloying design strategy enhance one most important tools coded (T12001). Therefore, two enhancement processes took place ...

Vanadium biological studies often disregarded the formation of decameric vanadate species known to interact, in vitro, with high-affinity with many proteins such as myosin and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump and also to inhibit these biochemical systems involved in energy transduction. Moreover, very few in vivo animal studies involving vanadium consider the contribution of decavanadate to ...

Public academic research sites, private institutions as well as small companies have made substantial contributions to the ongoing development of antidiabetic vanadium compounds. But why is this endeavor not echoed by the globally operating pharmaceutical companies, also known as "Big Pharma"? Intriguingly, today's clinical practice is in great need to improve or replace insulin treatment again...
