2-Hydroxybenzoylhydrazide reacts with an equimolar amount of [(VO)-O-IV(acac)(2)] and [(VO)-O-IV(bzac)(2)] [where acac(-) and bzac(-) are the monoanionic forms of acetylacetone (Hacac) and benzoylacetone (Hbzac) respectively] in the presence of an equimolar amount of 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) in methanol to afford the tetravalent complexes [(VO)-O-IV(HL1)(bipy)] (1) and [(VO)-O-IV(HL2)(bipy)] (2) respectively [where (HL1)(2-) and (HL2)(2-) represent the dianionic forms of the 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone of acetylacetone (H3L1) and benzoylacetone (H3L2) respectively]. On replacing bipy by 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hhq) or vanillin (Hvan), the pentavalent complexes [(VO)-O-V(HL1/HL2)(hq)] (3/4) and [(VO)-O-V(HL1/HL2)(van)] (5/6) respectively were obtained. These pentadentate hydrazone ligands bind the vanadium in a tridentate dinegative meridional fashion utilizing their enolic-O, one imine-N and amide-O (in the enol form), leaving the other two potential donor sites, viz., phenolic-O and the other imine-N, which are practically H-bonded intramolecularly, as is evident from IR, H-1 NMR and X-ray diffraction (of 3 and 4) studies. The EPR active tetravalent complexes 1 and 2 exhibit a quasi-reversible one-electron oxidation peak near +0.90 V, while the pentavalent complexes 3 and 4 exhibit quasi-reversible one-electron reduction peaks near -0.07 V versus SCE in CH2Cl2 solution. The [(VO)-O-V(HL)( van)] complexes 5 and 6 display two quasi-reversible one-electron reduction peaks near +0.06 V and near +0.40 V versus SCE in CH2Cl2 solution, attributed to the successive reduction of V-V -> V-IV and V-IV -> V-III respectively.
