A. Neves et al., SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF A NEW VANADYL PHENOLATE DERIVATIVE AS A MODEL FOR THE VANADIUM(IV) TRANSFERRINS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (23), 1993, pp. 1782-1784
The synthesis, and the X-ray crystal structure, spectroeletrochemical
and spectroscopic properties of [OV(IV)(bbpen)] [H-2bbpen = ybenzyl)-N
,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamime] are reported; this complex is
the first VO2+ species that exhibits similar UV-VIS and EPR propertie
s to those detected in VO2+ transferrins.
