Activation of metal-bound salicylaldoximes
Abstract
Neutral, bis-complexes of oxovanadium(IV) with salicylaldoximes and salicylketoximes react with a range of nitriles to afford a novel organic ligand type; the prototypical reaction product [VVO2{C6H4(O)CHN–OC(Me)NH}] is characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic studies.
