Abstract

A range of mostly new oxovanadium(IV) complexes is described. They contain coordinated Schiff bases, made from natural amino acids (glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, aspartic acid, and histidine) and salicylaldehyde or such derivatives as 3-, 4-, or 5-methoxy-salicylaldehyde. The coordination sphere is completed by simple ligands like water, 2,2′-bipyridyl or pyridine. The compounds are characterised and the nature of their coordination spheres shown by analysis, TLC, and by appropriate spectroscopy (EPR, IR, electronic and circular dichroism of solution and solids). In a few cases, magnetic properties are described to establish oxidation state. In several cases, the solubility of the compounds from racemic amino acids differs markedly from those containing the single enantiomer. The crystal and molecular structure of the related (and novel) compound with N-pyridoxylidene- d, l-isoleucinate, [VO(pyr- d, l-Ile)(bipy)]·H 2O is described. It contains two diastereomers. Denoting the chiral vanadium centres as A or C, these are and [ A(pyr- l-Ile)(bipy)] [ C(pyr- d-Ile)(bipy)].
