SUMMARY. It has been recently found that bis(pyrro1idine-N-carbodithioato)-oxovanadium (IV) is an orally active insulin-mimetic complex. In order to facilitate the characterization and rapid identification of this interesting drug, we have recorded its infrared and Raman spectra and made an assignment of its most characteristic bands. On the basis of this analysis some structural peculiarities ...
