Vanadium(V) complexes based on a bis(pyridine)-imine ligand (HL); synthesis and crystal structure of a dioxovanadium(V) complex involving a ligand cyclisation

Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of two novel dioxovanadium(V) complexes based on (2-hydroxybenzylidene)-di(2-pridin-2-yl)methylamine (HL) and 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-prydin-2-yl-imidazo-[1-5-a]-pryidine (HL′), which is the result of a vanadium-mediated oxidative cyclisation of HL, are reported.
