Supramolecular bimetallic vanadium(V) complex driven by hydrogen bonding and O∙∙∙O chalcogen bonding interaction: Oxidation of cyclohexane and its application toward C H bond activation

Vanadium(V) complex was synthesized in good yield and characterized by FT-IR, UV–Visible and NMR spectroscopy. The structure of the complex was confirmed by single X-ray crystallography. X-ray structural analysis the complex featuring O∙∙∙O chalcogen bonding interaction and other short interaction. The O∙∙∙O intermolecular interactions distance is 2.794 Å. Clearly, the O∙∙∙O intermolecular distance in the O-linked complex is less than the sum of...
