The molybdenum analogue of amavadin
Abstract
[MoV(hidpa)2]–[hidpa3=(oxyimino)dipropionate(3–)] has been synthesised and shown to possess the novel, octacoordinated structure identified for Amavadin, the form in which vanadium(IV) is bound in Amanita muscaria mushrooms; [MoV(hidpa)2]– is capable of both a one-electron reduction and a one-electron oxidation.
