Prediction of intermediate band in Ti/V doped γ-In2S3

We find the band structure of In1.5V0.5S3 with HSE functional, where the vanadium atom introduces an intermediate band inside the forbidden gap in the γ-phase of In2S3.

Crystal structure of {2,2′-[ethylenebis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato-κ4O,N,N′,O′}oxidovanadium(IV) methanol monosolvate

Two independent molecules of the title solvated complex, [V(C16H14N2O2)O]·CH3OH, also known as [N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine]oxidovanadium(IV) or vanadyl salen, crystallize in the asymmetric unit. Each disordered methanol solvent molecule [occupancy ratios 0.678 (4):0.322 (4) and 0.750 (5):0.250 (5)] is linked to a [N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine]oxidovanadium(IV) molecule by an O—H...O hydrogen bond and to others by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The resulting extended structure consists of a bilayer of molecules parallel to theabplane. Despite the fact that solvates are common in complexes derived from substituted analogues of theN,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine ligand, the title solvate is the first one of [N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine]oxidovanadium(IV) to be structurally characterized. The two vanadyl species have very similar internal geometries, which are best characterized as distorted square-based pyramidal with the vanadium atom displaced from the N2O2basal plane by 0.5966 (9) Å in the direction of the doubly-bonded oxide ligand.

A Vanadyl(V) Complex with a Pincer-type Thiobis(phenolate) and an Acetylacetonate Co-ligand, VO(tbp)(acac)

A new vanadyl(V) complex with the tridentate, pincer-type O,S,O-ligand thiobis(phenolate), tbp, was synthesized from the reaction of vanadium(IV) oxide bis(acetylacetonate), VO(acac)2, and 2,2’- thio-bis(4-methylphenol), H2tbp, in refluxing methanol in high yield. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure analysis revealed for VO(tbp)(acac) that the vanadium atom is octahedrally coordinated with an O5,S-donor environment where the thiobis(phenolate) ligand is O,S,O-bonded to the vanadyl(V) center facially in a tridentate dinegative fashion. Cyclic voltammetric experiments carried out with its solution in dimethyl sulfoxide revealed an irreversible peak at −0.768 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) relating to the V5+/V4+ reduction process.
