Structural chemistry of oxoperoxo complexes of vanadium(V): A review

This paper presents a review of the structural features of monomeric, dimeric, and polymeric oxoperoxo complexes of vanadium(V). The structural manifestations of the trans effect of multiply bonded oxo and peroxo ligands in pseudooctahedral oxo monoperoxo complexes of vanadium(V) are compared. The dependence of the geometric parameters of the structural fragment V(O2)n (n = 1, 2) (V-O, O-O bond lengths; OVO angles) on the type of coordination seven-vertex polyhedron (pseudooctahedron, n = 1; pseudotrigonal bipyramid, n = 2) of the metal atom is analyzed. Regular distortions of the coordination polyhedra of vanadium atoms (pseudooctahedron, pseudotrigonal bipyramid, pseudotetragonal pyramid, pseudotetrahedron) are considered.
