Coordination chemistry with versatile vanadium: synthesis and characterization of several novel complexes with tridentate ligands

Craig C. McLauchlan and Michael P. Weberski Jr. Illinois State University, Normal, IL

In the course of our investigations of vanadium phosphonate compounds for use as potential oxidation catalysts in making maleic anhydride and other plastic precursors, we have generated a series of metal coordination complexes with tridentate ligands as model complexes. Here we report the syntheses, characterization, and reactivity of our newly formed complexes.
