Diperoxo Complexes of Vanadium(V) Containing Mannich Base Ligands

The vanadium(V) peroxo complexes containing Mannich base ligands having composition Na[VO(O-2)(2)(L-L)]center dot H2O [where L-L=morpholinobenzyl acetamide (MBA), piperidinobenzyl acetamide (PBA), morpholinobenzyl benzamide (MBB), piperidinobenzyl benzamide (PBB), morpholinomethyl benzamide (MMB), piperidinomethyl benzamide (PMB), morpholinobenzyl formamide (MBF), piperdinobenzyl formamide (PBF)] have been reported. The complexes have been prepared by stirring vanadium pentoxide with excess of 30% aqueous-H2O2 followed by treatment with ethanolic solution of the ligand and finally maintained the pH of the reaction mixture by adding dilute solution of sodium hydroxide. The synthesized complexes have been characterized by various physico-chemical techniques, via elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility measurements, infra red, electronic, mass, H-1 NMR spectral and TGA/DTA studies. These studies revealed that the synthesized complexes are uni-univalent electrolytes and diamagnetic in nature. The ligands are bound to metal in a bidentate mode through carbonyl oxygen and the ring nitrogen. Thermal analysis result provides conclusive evidence for the presence of one molecule of lattice water in the complexes. Mass spectra confirm the molecular mass of the complexes.
