Ultrasound assisted synthesis, characterization and electrochemical study of a tetradentate oxovanadium diazomethine complex
2016
Abstract The oxovanadium (IV) complex “VOL” of a tetradentate Schiff base ligand derived from the condensation of diaminoethane and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde was efficiently prepared via ultrasound irradiation and the template effect of VO(acac) 2 . The resulting product was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, electronic absorption and molar conductance measurement. Single X-ray structure analysis showed that the complex is a monomeric five-coordinate with a distorted square pyramidal geometry. It crystallizes in monoclinic system having unit cell parameters a = 8.3960 (5) A; b = 12.5533 (8) A and c = 18.7804 (11) A; α = γ = 90°; β = 104.843°(2), with P 2 1 /c space group. Cyclic voltammetry of the complex, carried out on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode in DMF, showed reversible cyclic voltammograms response in the potential range 0.15–0.60 V involving a single electron redox wave V V /V IV , the diffusion coefficient is determinedusing GC rotating disk electrode. The Levich plot I lim = f(ω 1/2 ), was used to calculate the diffusion-convection controlled currents.
