K. Kanamori et al., PREPARATION AND STRUCTURES OF K3[VIII(OX)2(MU-SO4)] AND K5[VIII(OX)2(SO4)2], Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 66(9), 1993, pp. 2574-2578
Two sulfatovanadium(III) complexes, trans-K3[VIII(ox)2(mu-SO4)] (1) an
d trans-K5[VIII(ox)2(SO4)2] (2), were prepared. The X-ray crystallogra
phy of complex 1 showed that the complex consists of a one-dimensional
polymer chain with a bridging sulfate ion. In aqueous solution, howev
er, the sulfate bridge is cleaved and the sulfate ion coordinates to v
anadium(III) unidentately. Complex 2 has been characterized by element
al analysis, and Raman and infrared spectra.
