The preparation of highly pure vanadyl sulfate from sulfate solutions containing impurities of iron and aluminumwas investigated by solvent extraction with 2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (EHEHPA) and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) as the phase modifier. The extraction and stripping conditions of vanadium (IV) and its separation from iron and aluminum were optimized. Under the...

The reactions of neutral vanadium oxide clusters with alkenes (ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, and 1,3-butadiene) are investigated by experiments and density function theory (DFT) calculations. Single photon ionization through extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV, 46.9 nm, 26.5 eV) is used to detect neutral cluster distributions and reaction products. In the experiments, we observe products (V(2)O...

To compare the metal-insulator transitions (MITs) of VO2 and V2O3 we analyze the relations between the structural and electronic properties of the vanadium Magnéli phases. These materials set up the homologous series VnO2n−1 (3 ≤ n ≤ 9) and have crystal structures comprising typical dioxide-like and sesquioxidelike regions. As the MITs of the vanadium Magnéli phases are accompanied by structura...

LO81 MODELS FOR THE ACTIVE SITES IN THE MANGANESE CATALASE, OXYGEN EVOLVING COMPLEX AND VANADIUM BROMOPEROXIDASE. V.L. Pecoraro, X. Li, J.A. Bonadies, MS. Lab, E. Larson and S. Saadeh, Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-I 055, USA. Schiff Base and a-hydroxy acid complexes of manganese will be presented as models for the spectroscopic and reactivity behavior of ...

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...

Preparation and structural analysis of chiral dinuclear vanadium(v) catalysts with high catalytic activity for the oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols are described.

Spherical MCM-48 mesoporous sieve co-doped with vanadium and iron was successfully synthesized via one-step hydrothermal method. The material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectra, and X-ray photoelectr...
