Abstract
Vanadium complexes have been proved to possess an interesting insulin-like activity. The reaction of VO(acac)2 with N′-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide (H2L) in methanol affords a new mononuclear vanadium (V) complex [VOL(OMe)(MeOH)]. The structure of the complex is characterized by physicochemical methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes as the monoclinic space group P21/n, with unit cell parameters a = 7.830(2) A, b = 23.225(3) A, c = 10.635(2) A, β = 101.947(2)°, V = 1892.1(6) A3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0404, wR2 = 0.0953, S = 1.037. The X-ray analysis indicates that the V atom in the complex is in the octahedral coordination. The insulin-like activity of the complex is studied.
