Abstract
The synthesis and physicochemical properties of new vanadium(IV) complex of formula [VO(L)(phen)] is described. The L denotes ONO tridentate Schiff base derived from 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and phenylacetic hydrazide, while phen = 1,10-phenanthroline used as a co-ligand to stabilize the V(IV) oxidation state. The single crystal X-Ray crystal structure indicates on octahedral geometry of vanadium centre, with 1,10-phenanthroline nitrogen trans to the V=O bond. The complex crystalizes in a monoclinic P21/c space group, very unusual is that only one isomer is present in the crystal structure. The structure is stabilized by very weak hydrogen bonds and H···π and π···π interactions. The phenyl ring of hydrazide is strongly curved from ONO ligand plane by 70.95˚. The spectroscopic characterization (IR, UV-Vis) as well as the cyclic voltammetry measurements are presented and discussed.
