title: Supramolecular Potential of Vanadium β-Diketonate and Picolinate Compounds and The First One-dimensional Oxidovanadium(IV) Complex with β-Diketonate Ligand.
abstract: Three vanadium compounds with β-diketonato or picolinato ligands were prepared and structurally characterized. In compounds [VO(tfpb)2]∞ (1) (tfpb = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dionate) and [VO(acac)2(2-pyridone)] (2) the coordination of vanadium atom is octahedral and in the compound Hpy[VO2(pic)Cl] (3) the central atom is pentacoordinated. X-Ray crystallographic studies reveal infinite chain formation due to V=O···V=O interactions in 1, while 2 and 3 are mononuclear compounds. Centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers are formed in 2 via N-H···O interactions due to the 2-pyridone ligand. In 3 the Hpy+ cation is hydrogen bonded to the complex anion and crystal structure is further stabilized by π···π and C-H···O interactions.
