Abstract:
Dioxido-vanadium(V) complex has been synthesized in good yield, the complex was characterized by IR, UV-visible and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray crystallography techniques were used to assign the structure of the complex. Complex crystallized with monoclinic P21/c space group with cell parameters a (Å) = 39.516(5), b (Å) = 6.2571(11), c (Å) = 17.424(2), α (°) = 90, β (°) = 102.668(12) and γ (°) = 90. The hydrazone ligand is coordinate to metal ion in tridentate fashion through -ONO- donor atoms forming a distorted square pyramidal geometry around the metal ion.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
