Structural Vanadium Analogues of Phosphate Esters and Anhydrides

3 Structural Vanadium Analogues of Phosphate Esters and Anhydrides 

In Section 2.1.3, vanadate esters were addressed in the general context of inorganic aspects of vanadium compounds. Although vanadate esters form readily in aqueous solutions, they are not particularly stable (formation constants are of the order of magnitude of 10 -1 M ) and easily hydrolyse. Equilibria such as represented by Equation (5.5) describe the
