The acid promoted disproportionation of a vanadium(IV) phenolate: implications for vanadium uptake in tunicates
Abstract
Under anaerobic conditions VIVO(salen)(salen =N,N′-ethylenebis-salicylideneaminato) undergoes an acid promoted disproportionation to yield a VIII(salen) species and VVO(salen)+ which upon addition of chloride ion react via back electron transfer to yield VIVO(salen) and VIVCl2(salen).
