With synchrotron radiation from the Bonn 2.5 GeV synchrotron, high-resolution absorption spectra have been measured at the vanadium K-edge of bromoperoxidase from the marine brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum and several model compounds. The near-edge structure (XANES) of these spectra was used to determine the charge state and the coordination geometry around the vanadium atom. For the active enzyme a coordination charge of 2.7 was found which is compatible with a formal valence of +5, assuming coordination by atoms with a high electronegativity such as oxygen or nitrogen. For the reduced enzyme the coordination charge value of 2.15 indicates the reduction of the valency by 1 unit. Our results suggest that the coordination sphere of the vanadium atom in the native enzyme consists of at least seven oxygen atoms in a distorted octahedral environment with an average bond length of about 2 A. Through the reduction process, the coordination sphere of the vanadium atom changes with a simultaneous decrease of the coordination cage. These results agree with those deduced from previous EPR and 51V-NMR measurements.

Oxidation of NADH by decavanadate, a polymeric form vanadate with a cage-like structure, in presence of rat liver microsomes followed a biphasic pattern. An initial slow phase involved a small rate of oxygen uptake and reduction of 3 of the 10 vanadium atoms. This was followed by a second rapid phase in which the rates of NADH oxidation and oxygen uptake increased several-fold with a stoichiometry of NADH: O2 of 1:1. The burst of NADH oxidation and oxygen uptake which occurs in phosphate, but not in Tris buffer, was prevented by SOD, catalase, histidine, EDTA, MnCl2 and CuSO4, but not by the hydroxyl radical quenchers, ethanol, methanol, formate and mannitol. The burst reaction is of a novel type that requires the polymeric structure of decavanadate for reduction of vanadium which, in presence of traces of H2O2, provides a reactive intermediate that promotes transfer of electrons from NADH to oxygen.

A single-crystal X-ray determination of the [Li(CH(3)CN)(2)(+)](6-CH(3)-nido-5,6,9-C(3)B(7)H(9)(-)) salt has shown that the 6-CH(3)-nido-5,6,9-C(3)B(7)H(9)(-) tricarbadecaboranyl anion has a nido-cage geometry based on an octadecahedron missing the unique six-coordinate vertex. The resulting six-membered open face is puckered, with two of the cage carbons (C6 and C9) occupying the low-coordinate cage positions above the plane of the four remaining atoms (C5, B7, B8, and B10). The Li(+) ion is centered over the open face and is solvated by two acetonitrile molecules. The reactions of the 6-CH(3)-nido-5,6,9-C(3)B(7)H(9)(-) anion with various vanadium halide salts, including VCl(4), VCl(3), and VBr(2), each resulted in the isolation of the same five paramagnetic products (2-6) of composition V(CH(3)-C(3)B(7)H(9))(2). X-ray crystallographic determinations of 2-5 showed that the complexes consist of two octadecahedral VC(3)B(7) fragments sharing a common vanadium vertex and established their structures as commo-V-(1-V-4'-CH(3)-2',3',4'-C(3)B(7)H(9))(1-V-2-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9)) (2), commo-V-(1-V-5'-CH(3)-2',3',5'-C(3)B(7)H(9))(1-V-4-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9)) (3), commo-V-(1-V-5'-CH(3)-2',3',5'-C(3)B(7)H(9))(1-V-2-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9)) (4), and commo-V-(1-V-2-CH(3)-2,3,4-C(3)B(7)H(9))(2) (5). These complexes can be considered as tricarbadecaboranyl analogues of vanadocene, (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)V. However, unlike vanadocene, these complexes are air- and moisture-stable and have only one unpaired electron. The five complexes differ with respect to one another in that they either (1) contain different enantiomeric forms of the CH(3)-C(3)B(7)H(9) cages, (2) have a different twist orientation of the two cages, or (3) have the methyl group of the CH(3)-C(3)B(7)H(9) cage located in either the 2 or 4 position of the cage. Subsequent attempts to oxidize the compounds with reagents such as Br(2) and Ag(+) were unsuccessful, illustrating the ability of the tricarbadecaboranyl anion to stabilize metals in low oxidation states. Consistent with this, both the electrochemical oxidation and the reduction of 2 were much more positive than those of the same oxidation state changes in vanadocene. The one-electron reduction of 2 is a remarkable 2.9 V positive of that of Cp(2)V.

Four novel polyoxovanadium borates with [(VO)12O6B18O42], namely (enH2)6 H3 [(VO)12O6B18O42].13H2O(1), [Ni (en)2]6 H3 [(VO)12 O6B18O42].8H2O(2), [Cu(en)2]5 H3 [(VO)12 O6B18 O42] [B(OH)3]2. 16H20(3) and(enH2)4 Na4H3 [(VO)12 O6B18O42].8H2O(4), were synthesized. The relationship between their properties and structures were studied by using FTIR, UV-Vis DRS and fluorescence etc. Among these compounds, compound (1) possesses isolated [(VO)12O6B18O42] cage, there is a ring of B18O42 sandwiched between two vanadium-oxygen clusters V6O18 by eighteen B--(micro3--O)--V bonds, while compound (2) is rather six [Ni(en)2], each connected with the B18O42 ring by two Ni--(micro3--O)--B. In compounds (3) and (4), the anion clusters [(VO)12 O6B18O42]13- are connected with [Cu(en)2]2+ and Na+ , respectively. Thus, the compounds (3) and (4) are extended to an infinite two-dimensional network structure, respectively. These characteristic vibrational frequencies of polyoxovanadium borates are related to the structures of these compounds. In UV/Vis DRS spectra, there are two characteristic peaks of polyoxometalates at 205 and 260 nm, respectively. The fluorescence spectra of these four compounds have been studied, and they have emission peaks at 415 nm excited by 310 nm which are caused by Omicro-->Mo. The fluorescence lifetimes of these compounds have been studied.

A new kind of manganeseporphyrin/vanadium-substituted polyoxometalate coordination compound was synthesized by meso-tetrakis(4-trimethylamidiophenyl) manganeseporphyrin and vanadium-substituted polyoxometalate H5 PMo10 V2O4 reacting in water solution at room temperature, and its structures were studied by IR spectrometry and UV-Vis spectrometry. The results show that metalloporphyrin ring structure and polyoxometalate cage structure still exist in the coordination compound, and these two parts connect with each other by chemical bond. As an excellent catalyst, its effects on benzene hydroxylation and catalytic capabilities were studied with H2O2 solution as an oxidant under mild reaction condition, meanwhile the catalytic active centre in the benzene hydroxylation reaction was discussed. The results indicated that V atom in polyoxometalate is the main centre of catalytic activity, while the presence of manganeseporphyrin could improve its catalytic activity greatly.

Vanadium oxide clusters, (V2O5)n, have been predicted to possess interesting polyhedral cage structures, which may serve as ideal molecular models for oxide surfaces and catalysts. Here we examine the electronic properties of these oxide clusters via anion photoelectron spectroscopy for (V2O5)n(-) (n = 2-4), as well as for the 4d/5d species, Nb4O10(-) and Ta4O10(-). Well-resolved photoelectron spectra have been obtained at 193 and 157 nm and used to compare with density functional calculations. Very high electron affinities and large HOMO-LUMO gaps are observed for all the (V2O5)n clusters. The HOMO-LUMO gaps of (V2O5)n, all exceeding that of the band gap of the bulk oxide, are found to increase with cluster size from n = 2-4. For the M4O10 clusters, we find that the Nb/Ta species yield similar spectra, both possessing lower electron affinities and larger HOMO-LUMO gaps relative to V4O10. The structures of the anionic and neutral clusters are optimized; the calculated electron binding energies and excitation spectra for the global minimum cage structures are in good agreement with the experiment. Evidence is also observed for the predicted trend of electron delocalization versus localization in the (V2O5)n(-) clusters. Further insights are provided pertaining to the potential chemical reactivities of the oxide clusters and properties of the bulk oxides.

Density functional theory is employed to study structure and stability of small neutral vanadium oxide clusters in the gas phase. BPW91/LANL2DZ level of theory is used to obtain structures of VOy (y=1-5), V2Oy (y=2-7), V3Oy (y=4-9), and V4Oy (y=7-12) clusters. Enthalpies of growth and fragmentation reactions of the lowest energy isomers of vanadium oxide molecules are also obtained to study the stability of neutral vanadium oxide species under oxygen saturated gas-phase conditions. Our results suggest that cyclic and cage-like structures are preferred for the lowest energy isomers of neutral vanadium oxide clusters, and oxygen-oxygen bonds are present for oxygen-rich clusters. Clusters with an odd number of vanadium atoms tend to have low spin ground states, while clusters with even number of vanadium atoms have a variety of spin multiplicities for their ground electronic state. VO2, V2O5, V3O7, and V4O10 are predicted to be the most stable neutral clusters under the oxygen saturated conditions. These results are in agreement with and complement previous gas-phase experimental studies of neutral vanadium oxide clusters.
