The discovery of high levels of vanadium-containing compounds in ascidian blood cells goes back to 1911. Ascidians, which are also known as tunicates or sea squirts, belong to a subphylum of the Chordata, between the vertebrates and invertebrates. This discovery attracted the attention of an interdisciplinary group of chemists, physiologists, and biochemists, in part because of interest in the ...

21 vanadium bis-phenolate benzimidazolyidene complexes spanning three oxidation states have been investigated. Special emphasis is thereby laid on their salt metathesis reactivity and the accessibility of +IV state by reductive or oxidative routes, starting from vanadium(V) vanadium(III) respectively. While route highly depended reducing agent material used, gives clean access to vanadium(IV) d...

In the wake of increasing share renewable energy-based generation systems in power mix and reducing risk global environmental harm caused by fossil-based systems, energy storage system application has become a crucial player to offset intermittence instability associated with systems. Due capability store large amounts an efficient way, redox flow batteries (RFBs) are becoming choice for large-...
