title: Investigation on the interactions between diperoxovanadate and substituted phenanthroline.
abstract: Detailed investigations were carried out to explore the interaction systems of NH4VO3/H2O2/5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and NH4VO3/H2O2/5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline in aqueous solution under physiological conditions by NMR spectroscopy, such as 1D 1H, 13C, 51V variable temperature, and 2D COSY, NOESY, HETCOR, COLOC techniques as well as density functional calculations. New species [OV(O2)2(5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)]- and [OV(O2)2(5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline)]- including isomers were formed in a bidentate coordination fashion which were stable under the experimental conditions. The solution structures of these new species were proposed based on the direct NMR experimental information and confirmed by the theoretical calculations. All the 1H and 13C NMR peaks were assigned. The calculated 1H and 13C chemical shifts on the whole are in fair agreement with the experimental values. The methyl groups on the aromatic ring of the three new complexes were found to have a steric hindrance effect on the coordination process. Experimental results show that the order of coordination capability of phenanthroline and its derivants was: 1,10-phenanthroline>5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline>5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline.
