Organovanadium chemistry
open-in-new
<p>Organovanadium chemistry is the <a href="/facts/Chemistry/SrNqkGVm">chemistry</a> of <a href="/facts/Organometallic_compounds/bhqFz2P0">organometallic compounds</a> containing a <a href="/facts/Carbon/ukrgQexo">carbon</a> (C) to <a href="/facts/Vanadium/UvKkKTSm">vanadium</a> (V) <a href="/facts/Chemical_bond/ArNUMnIB">chemical bond</a>. Organovanadium compounds find only minor use as reagents in <a href="/facts/Organic_synthesis/aprl6Iq7">organic synthesis</a> but are significant for <a href="/facts/Polymer_chemistry/wdfr6fs4">polymer chemistry</a> as <a href="/facts/Catalysts/LPBS7TQC">catalysts</a>. </p><p><a href="/facts/Oxidation_states/W53W6s6V">Oxidation states</a> for vanadium are +2, +3, +4 and +5. Low valency vanadium is usually stabilized with <a href="/facts/Carbonyl/KJ71bo3X">carbonyl</a> ligands. Oxo derivatives are relatively common, unlike the organic complexes of neighboring elements. </p>
