2-Amino-3-hydroxypyridinium dioxido(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ(3)O(2),N,O(6))vanadate(V), (C5H7N2O)[V(C7H3NO4)O2] or [H(amino-3-OH-py)][VO2(dipic)], (I), was prepared by the reaction of VCl3 with dipicolinic acid (dipicH2) and 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine (amino-3-OH-py) in water. The compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis, and consists of an anionic [VO2(dipic)](-) complex and an H(amino-3-OH-py)(+) counter-cation. The V(V) ion is five-coordinated by one O,N,O'-tridentate dipic dianionic ligand and by two oxide ligands. Thermal decomposition of (I) in the presence of polyethylene glycol led to the formation of nanoparticles of V2O5. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the synthesized powder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
