A solid solution was found to exist in the quaternary Li(2)O-MgO-V(2)O(5)-MoO(3) system between the two phases Mg(2.5)VMoO(8) and Li(2)Mg(2)(MoO(4))(3). Both Mg(2.5)VMoO(8) and Li(2)Mg(2)(MoO(4))(3) are isostructural with the mineral lyonsite, and substitution according to the formula square(1/4-x/6)Li(4x/3)Mg(15/4-7x/6)V(3/2-x)Mo(3/2+x)O(12) (0 < or = x < or = 1.5, where square denotes a catio...

Contrary to common belief, hollow precipitation tubes form in the absence of silicate if sodium hydroxide solution is injected into solutions of various metal ions. In many cases, the growth speed has a power law dependence on the flow rate. For vanadyl, we observe damped oscillations in the tube height.

We show that a sizeable electronuclear entanglement of the S = 1/2 and I 7/2 spins vanadyl porphyrin provides conditions to act as universal 4-qubit processor, thus implement quantum error correction at molecular level.

Through a combination of protecting groups, postsynthesis deprotection, and postsynthesis metallation, a homogeneously inaccess ible , s ingle-s i te vanadyl(monocatecholate) moiety can be incorporated into the dipyridyl struts of a Zn-based, pillared paddlewheel MOF. The resulting MOF, which has large pores, exhibits catalytic activity in the benzylic oxidation of tetralin in the presence of t...

The vanadyl arsenate, VOAsO(4), has been isolated by a solid-state reaction. The structure consists of distorted VO(6) octa-hedra and AsO(4) tetra-hedra sharing corners to build up VAsO(7) layers parallel to ac linked by edge-sharing of VO(6) octa-hedra, forming a three-dimensional framework.

Tetraoctyl-substituted vanadyl phthalocyanine (OVPc4C8) as a new NIR-absorbing discotic liquid crystalline material can form highly ordered thin films with edge-on alignment of the molecules and molecular packing mode identical to that in the phase II of OVPc for solution processed OTFTs with mobility up to 0.017 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1).

Background: It is known that vanadyl compounds are capable of alleviating hyperglycemia in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Objective: To examine the effect of vanadyl sulphate (VS) on spermatogenesis of male rats. Methods: Male rats (n=10) were administered 32 mg/kg/day of VS orally and 50 mEq/l NaCl (as drinking water) for one month.  Meanwhile, 11 male rats, the control group, received ...

Vanadyl sulfate (VOSO(4)) is an oxidative form of vanadium that in vitro and in animal models of diabetes has been shown to reduce hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Small clinical studies of 2- to 4-week duration in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have led to inconsistent results. To define its efficacy and mechanism of action, 11 type 2 diabetic patients were treated with VOSO(4) at a higher dose (...
