Spectral characterization of vanadium-transferrin systems.
The preparation procedure of vanadium(III) transferrin and its stability are confirmed to be as previously reported. The electronic spectra of vanadium(III), oxovanadium(IV), and vanadium(V) transferrin derivatives are comparatively discussed. A band in the near infrared of the oxovanadium(IV) derivative is observed for the first time.
