Abstract
A series of new complexes of the type VO(OH)L·nH2O ((1) L: fisetin, n = 3; (2) L: quercetin, n = 2; (3) L: morin, n = 4) were synthesised and characterised by analytical as well as IR and electronic data. The modification evidenced in IR spectra was correlated with the presence of flavonoid as bidentate in all complexes. The electronic reflectance spectra showed the d–d transition characteristic for the square-pyramidal stereochemistry of vanadium (IV) ion. The thermal analysis (TG, DTA) in synthetic air flow elucidated the composition and also the number and nature of the water molecules. The TG curves show three well-separated thermal events. The first corresponds to the water loss at lower temperatures, which is followed by flavonoid derivative decomposition and pyrolysis at higher temperatures. The final product is vanadium (V) oxide.
