Sb. Etcheverry et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SOLID VANADYL(IV) COMPLEX OF D-GLUCURONIC ACID, Journal of inorganic biochemistry, 63(4), 1996, pp. 285-289
It was possible to develop a synthetic procedure which enables the pre
paration of microcrystalline samples of the sodium salt of the complex
anion bis (D-glucuronato)oxovanadium(IV), a new example of a solid VO
2+/carbohydrate complex, in which the oxocation is chelated by pairs o
f adjacent diol groups. The compound was characterized by chemical ana
lysis, electronic (reflectance), and infrared spectroscopy.
