Summary: | Three new dinuclear oxidovanadium(V) complexes have been synthesized using N, N, O, O coordinating ligands. The complexes are isolated and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. X-ray structure of a representative complex has been determined. The electronic structure, absorption and CD spectra of the complexes were calculated applying DFT-TDDFT method. The chemical shift was also computed using GIAO-DFT calculation. The occupancies and composition of the natural bond orbitals (NBOs) for all the complexes were also calculated using DFT.
Dinuclear (VVVV) oxidovanadates of general formula [V2O3(L)2] have been synthesized in excellent yields by reacting bis(acetylacetonato)oxidovanadium(IV) with H2L in a 1:1 ratio in acetonitrile in air. Here L2− is the deprotonated form of 2-[((2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl]phenol (H2L1), 2-[((1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl]phenol (H2L2) and 2-[((1-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl]phenol (H2L3). X-ray crystallographic study for the complex 1 reveals that the relative disposition of the two VO groups in [V2O3(L1)2] is almost cis, the O6V1—V2O7 torsion angle being 42.9(2)°. Low VV/VIV reduction potentials (−0.50V versus SCE) are indicative of the considerable VO3+ stabilization due to alkoxide coordination. The gas-phase geometry optimization and the electronic structures of [V2O3(L1)2], 1; [V2O3(L2)2], 2 and [V2O3(L3)2], 3 have been investigated with the framework of density functional theory. The absorption spectra of the complexes and the CD spectra for 2 and 3 are calculated by time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) using conductor like polarizable continuum model (CPCM). DFT calculation shows a good agreement to the experimental ground state IR and NMR value. |
