Observation of a VII–VIV oxo-bridged transient in the reduction of [VO(hedta]– by [V(hedta)]–
Abstract
Precursor complexes of oxidation state assignment VII–O–VIV prior to intramolecular electron transfer have been detected in the [VO(edta)]2–, [V(edta)]2– and [VO(hedta)]–, [V(hedta)]– cross-reactions (H4edta = ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid; H3hedta = hydroxy-ethylenediaminetriacetic acid).
