Vanadyl(IV)–amide binding. The preparation and X-ray crystal structure of [VO(pycac)]{H2pycac =N-[2-(4-oxopentan-2-ylideneamino)phenyl]pyridine-2-carboxamide}

Abstract

Reaction of H₂pycac with bis(pentane-2,4-dionato)oxovanadium(IV) gives the title compound which is the first example of a vanadyl(iv) complex containing a vanadium–amide bond; the X-ray crystal structure of the complex is reported.
