“…4), one group was assigned to the free 2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole and the other to the coordinated 2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, i.e., the ligand of the new species formed in the interaction system. Chemical shifts and the relative areas of the 1 H and 13 C peaks suggest that the newly-formed species [OV(O 2 ) 2 L] − (L = benzimidazole-like ligands) are six-coordinated, similar to [OV(O 2 ) 2 (Imi)] − and [OV(O 2 ) 2 (L )] − (L = 4-substituted pyridines) systems we studied previously[20,24].…”
