$^{13}C$ and $^{51}V$ Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Vanadium(V) Complexes of Iminodiacetate Analogues

The solution structures of the vanadium(V) complexes of iminodiacetate analogues, such as iminodiacetate (IDA), methyliminodiacetate (MeIDA), ethyliminodiacetate (EtIDA), benzyliminodiacetate (BzIDA), pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (DPA), and 2-hydroxyethyliminodiacetate (HEIDA), have been studied by $^{13}C-$ and $^{51}V$-NMR spectroscopy. Assuming that the complexes have a $cis-VO_2$ core, IDA, MeIDA, EtIDA, and BzIDA act as facial tridentate ligands to form octahedral complexes, whereas DPA coordinates to $VO_2^+$ as a meridional tridentate. And one water molecule fulfills the remaining site to satisfy the coordination number of six. But HEIDA coordinates to $VO_2^+$ through one IDA moiety and one hydroxyl group, acting as a tetradenate.
