Mononuclear and homobinuclear vanadium(IV), chromium(III), molybdenum(III), and uranium(VI) chelates with ortho-cresolphthalein complexone

Mononuclear and homobinuclear o-cresolphthalein complexone complexes with VO2+, Cr3+, MoO+, and UO2 2+ have been prepared and their structures investigated. The empirical formulas, the mode of bonding, and the geometry of the complexes were obtained from elemental and thermal analyses, IR, electronic and ESR spectra, magnetic moment determinations, DC and CV polarographic studies.
