Single crystal-to-single crystal irreversible transformation from a discrete vanadium(V)-alcoholate to an aldehydic-vanadium(IV) oligomer.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132(45) , 15842-5, (2010)

An unprecedented single crystal-to-single crystal transformation occurs when a binuclear oxovanadium(V) compound [V(V)(2)O(2)(L)(2)] 1 involving 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-p-cresol (H(3)L) as a bridging l...
