Studies on some simple and mixed ligated oxovanadium(V) complexes of hydroxamic acids

Abstract

Some simple and mixed ligand complexes of oxovanadium(V) with benzo-, and salicyl-hydroxamic acids as primary ligands and 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline as secondary ligands have been prepared and characterised. The structures of the complexes have been assigned on the basis of electronic and infra red spectral data. The IR spectra of the simple complexes reveal the bidentate nature of the primary ligands, whereas in the mixed complexes these ligands exhibit monodentate nature. Magnetic moment studies show that the complexes are diamagnetic.
