Vanadium acetate

Titanium—Vanadium Mixed Metal Alkoxides. Titanium—vanadium mixed metal alkoxides, VO(OTi(OR)2)2, are prepared by reaction of titanates, eg, TYZOR TBT, with vanadium acetate ia a high boiling hydrocarbon solvent. The by-product butyl acetate is distilled off to yield a product useful as a catalyst for polymeri2iag olefins, dienes, styrenics, vinyl chloride, acrylate esters, and epoxides (159,160). 

Acetylation of acetaldehyde to ethyUdene diacetate [542-10-9], a precursor of vinyl acetate, has long been known (7), but the condensation of formaldehyde [50-00-0] and acetic acid vapors to furnish acryflc acid [97-10-7] is more recent (30). These reactions consume relatively more energy than other routes for manufacturing vinyl acetate or acryflc acid, and thus are not likely to be further developed. Vapor-phase methanol—methyl acetate oxidation using simultaneous condensation to yield methyl acrylate is still being developed (28). A vanadium—titania phosphate catalyst is employed in that process. 

The compound can be prepared from 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid [88-89-1]) by reduction with sodium hydrosulfide (163), with ammonia —hydrogen sulfide followed by acetic acid neutralization of the ammonium salt (164), with ethanolic hydrazine and copper (165), or electrolyticaHy with vanadium sulfate in alcoholic sulfuric acid (159). Heating 4,6-dinitro-2-benzamidophenol in concentrated HQ. at 140°C also yields picramic acid (166). 

Hydroxy-containing polymers such as poly(methyl-methacrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [65,66] or secondary cellulose acetate [67,68] were used for this purpose. Vanadium (V) 8-hydroxy quinoline-hydroxy-ethyl methacrylate adduct, prepared by condensation of the latter with a VOQ2OH complex, is polymerized to... 

Determination of vanadium as silver vanadate Discussion. Vanadates are precipitated by excess of silver nitrate solution in the presence of sodium acetate after boiling, the precipitate consists of silver orthovanadate. The following reactions occur with a solution of a metavanadate ... 

The cobalt complex is usually formed in a hot acetate-acetic acid medium. After the formation of the cobalt colour, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid is added to decompose the complexes of most of the other heavy metals present. Iron, copper, cerium(IV), chromium(III and VI), nickel, vanadyl vanadium, and copper interfere when present in appreciable quantities. Excess of the reagent minimises the interference of iron(II) iron(III) can be removed by diethyl ether extraction from a hydrochloric acid solution. Most of the interferences can be eliminated by treatment with potassium bromate, followed by the addition of an alkali fluoride. Cobalt may also be isolated by dithizone extraction from a basic medium after copper has been removed (if necessary) from acidic solution. An alumina column may also be used to adsorb the cobalt nitroso-R-chelate anion in the presence of perchloric acid, the other elements are eluted with warm 1M nitric acid, and finally the cobalt complex with 1M sulphuric acid, and the absorbance measured at 500 nm. 

Macrocyclic ligands 1,4,7-triazacyclonona-iV-acetate 221 and iV-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-l,4,7-cyclononane 225 have been prepared from l,4,7-triazacyclio[5.2.1.04 10]decane 40 and were subsequently used for the synthesis of a series of mono- and dinuclear complexes of vanadium(rv) and (v) (Scheme 35) <1995ICA(240)217>. 

Cobalt acetate is used to make acetic acid out of butane palladium chlo-ride/cupric chloride is used to make MEK out of butylene and lo and behold, to make phthalic anhydride out of ortho-xylene or naphthalene, you use vanadium pentoxide. 

Vanadium(n) Complexes.—Dehydration of VSO. THjO has been shown to proceed via the formation of VS04,mH20 (where n = 6, 4, or 1) and V(OH)-(SO4), which were characterized by X-ray studies. The polarographic behaviour and the oxidation potential of the V -l,2-cyclohexanediamine-tetra-acetic acid complex, at pH 6—12, have been determined.Formation constants and electronic spectra have been reported for the [Vlphen),] " and [V20(phen)] complexes. The absorption spectrum of V ions doped in cadmium telluride has been presented and interpreted on a crystal-field model. The unpaired spin density in fluorine 2pit-orbitals of [VF ] , arising from covalent transfer and overlap with vanadium orbitals, has been determined by ENDOR spectroscopy and interpreted using a covalent model.

The kinetics of the reaction between [V(salen)] in pyridine and oxygen have been determined and interpreted in terms of the formation of a [V(salen)] -oxygen adduct. This reinforces the view that vanadium(iii) complexes can act as oxygen carriers. The oxidation of the 1,2-cyclohexanediaminetetra-acetic acid complex of V " has been studied in solutions of pH 6—12. ... 

The nature of the reaction products obtained on refluxing vanadium(iii) halides with acetic or propionic acids has been confirmed as H[V30(RC02)8]-[VCl(MeC02)2] was isolated after reaction under mild conditions. The room-temperature magnetic moments of the trinuclear species of ca. 2.65 BM are... 

The selective oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons is a reaction of high industrial importance. Besides a variety of other oxidants, hydrogen peroxide as a very clean oxidant has also been used for these purposes . As an example, in 1989 Moiseev and coworkers reported on the vanadium(V)-catalyzed oxidation of cyclohexane with hydrogen peroxide (Scheme 146) . When the reaction was carried out in acetic acid cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone were formed, bnt conversions were very poor and did not exceed 13%. Employing CF3COOH as solvent, complete conversions could be obtained within 5 min-ntes. Here, cyclohexyl trifluoroacetate was the main product (85% of the products formed) resulting from the reaction of cyclohexanol (the primary product of the oxidation) with CF3COOH. 

V-containing silicalite (Al- and Na-free) samples were prepared hydrothermally and then treated with an ammonium acetate solution at room temperature in order to remove extralattice vanadium. Three samples with Si02A 203 ratios of 117, 237 and 545, respectively, were prepared. Hereinafter these samples will be referred to as follows V-SH117, V-SU237 and V-SH545. Details on the preparation procedure, and characterization of the samples have been reported previously (7,2). 

The good catalytic behavior of V-containing silicalite may be associated with the presence of the tetrahedral V species stabilized by the interaction with the zeolite framework as regards both redox and coordination changes. In fact, ESR and TPR data indicate the lower rate of reduction of this species as compared to that of supported vanadium-oxide, and V-NMR data indicate the stability against changes in the coordination environment. Catalytic data (Fig.s 2 and 3) indicate the better catalytic performances of this species in propane oxidative dehydrogenation as compared to supported polynuclear vanadium-oxide which can be removed by treatment with an ammonium acetate solution. 

Two polarographic methods have been developed for the determination of cohalt(II) at concentrations ranging from approximately 1 to 80 mM in an aqueous sample. For the first method [15], which is suitable for samples containing large amounts of nickel]11), the cobalt(II) is oxidized to Co(NH3)6 in an ammoniacal medium with the aid of sodium perborate, after which the cobalt(III) species is determined. A second procedure [16] entails the use of lead dioxide in an acetic acid-acetate buffer containing oxalate to convert cobalt(II) to the 0(0204)3 ion, which can be subjected to polarographic reduction. This latter approach is well suited to the determination of cobalt in the presence of copper(II), iron(III), nickel(II), tin(IV), and zinc(II), whereas the chief interferences are cerium, chromium, manganese, and vanadium.
