Potassium Bis(2-[α-Hydroxyalkyl/Aryl] Benzimidazolato) Dioxovanadates(V) through Base Assisted Aerial Oxidation of the Corresponding Oxovanadium(IV) Complexes †
Bis(2-[α-hydroxyalkyl/aryl]benzimidazolato)dioxovanadates(V) dihydrates, as their potassium salts, were prepared by the reaction of [VO(acac)2] with the respective benzimidazole followed by aerial oxidation in presence of KOH. An octahedral structure has been proposed for these complexes on the basis of IR, electronic and 1H NMR spectral studies, and thermogravimetric analysis.
