L. Albaric et al., Oxovanadium(V)-1-methoxy-2-propanoxide: synthesis and spectroscopic studies - a molecular precursor for a vanadium-magnesium oxide catalyst, POLYHEDRON, 20(18), 2001, pp. 2261-2268
A brown liquid oxovanadium(V) alkoxide [VO(OCH(CH3)CH2OCH3)(3)](n) was prep
ared by heating under reflux ammonium metavanadate with alcohol and toluene
. The exchange processes between monomer and oligomers in pure or diluted m
edium were observed by dynamic V-51 NMR study. The compound reacted with ma
gnesium 1-methoxy 2-propanoxide to yield in situ a heterobimetallic alkoxid
e, which is used in the synthesis of a vanadium-magnesium oxide catalyst. T
extural and structural properties of the resulting oxide have been presente
