Abstract
A novel route to synthesize ternary oxovanadium(IV) complexes containing straight chain carboxylic acids and Schiff bases has been investigated. Complexes with the general formula [VO(OOCR)(SB)] (R˭C13H27, C15H31, or C17H35 and HSB = Schiff bases) have been isolated and characterized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, cyclic voltammetry, and spectral studies. Powder XRD and TEM studies indicated the particles of these were lying in the nano-size range. These are novel hydrolytically stable, mixed-ligand complexes in which vanadium is having coordination number 5. A square pyramidal geometry around vanadium has been assigned in all the complexes.
