Vanadiums involvement in biological processes entails deep knowledge of its bioavailability and consequently its soluble forms present in aqueous distributions with physiological ligands of variable size and mode of coordination. In a specific fashion, V2O5, citric acid and H2O2 reacted at pH 5.5-6.0 and afforded a red crystalline product. Elemental analysis pointed to the molecular formation K10[V2O2(O2)2(C6H5O7)2][V2O2(O2)2(C6H4O7)2]·20H2O(1). Complex 1, was further characterized by FT-IR and X-Ray crystallography.
