Abstract:
A new complex of oxovanadium(IV), V(2)O(2)[(HB(pz)(3))(2)(pyrro)(2) (1) and a dimer-dithio carboxyl compound (C(5)H(8)NS(2))(2) (2) have been synthesized by the reaction of VOSO(4).nH(2)O with NaHB(pz)(3) and pyrrolidine dithio carboxylic acid ammonium salt. They were characterized by element analysis, IR spectra, UV-vis spectra and X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses of 1 and 2 gave the following parameters: 1, triclinic, P-1, a=7.732(4)A, b=14.285(8)A, c=17.802(9)A, alpha=101.314(8) degrees , beta=92.682(9) degrees , gamma=92.228(9) degrees , V=1923.6(18)A(3), and Z=4; 2, monoclinic, C2/c, a=13.857(2)A, b=10.4213(18)A, c=9.436(2)A, beta=97.099(2), V=1352.1(4)A(3), and Z=4. In complex 1, vanadium atom adopts a distorted tetragonal bipyramid structure, which is typical for oxovanadium(IV) complexes. Compound 2 is a dimer-dithio carboxyl compound with S-S bond. In addition, thermal analysis was performed for analyzing the stabilization of the complexes.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
