The chemistry of vanadium has seen remarkable activity in the past 50 years. In the present
review, reactions catalyzed by homogeneous and supported vanadium complexes from …

Vanadium is a transition metal that, being ubiquitously distributed in soil, crude oil, water
and air, also found roles in biological systems and is an essential element in most living …

Vanadium is special in at least two respects: on the one hand, the tetrahedral anion
vanadate (v) is similar to the phosphate anion; vanadate can thus interact with various …

This contribution is an overview on recent advances (since 2000) on the application of
oxovanadium complexes as catalysts or mediators for oxidations by molecular oxygen …

In the early treatment of diabetes with vanadium, inorganic vanadium compounds have
been the focus of attention; organic vanadium compounds are nowadays increasingly …

The relevance of vanadium in biological systems is known for many years and vanadium-
based catalysts have important industrial applications, however, till the beginning of the 80s …

Low molecular weight and high molecular weight metal ion binders present in blood plasma
are shortly described. The binding of vanadium and ruthenium complexes by these …

Vanadium compounds are stored or employed by several groups of bacterial and eukaryotic
organisms. Two types of vanadium-dependent enzymes have so far been characterised …

Research efforts on the medicinal chemistry of vanadium have been mainly focused whether
on improving biodistribution and tolerability of the vanadium insulin-enhancing core or on …

The most relevant results published from 2006 up to 2010 are reported; they especially
regard the synthetic pathway and the structural and physico-chemical aspects of planar or …
