Abstract

Abstract Reaction of vanadyl sulfate with 3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid (H2hpic) affords two chargeless complexes, [VO(Hhpic-O,O)(Hhpic-O,N)(H2O)]·3H2O (1) and unprecedented cyclic tetranuclear complex [(VO)4(μ-(hpic-O,O′,N))(H2O)4]·8H2O (2), which were characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The unique structural transformation between complexes 1 and 2 was found.
