Abstract
Two complexes having the formulas VO(DCIPy)2(H2O).1.5H2O and VO(DCIPy)2(H2O).2MeOH have been synthesized and characterized (DCIPy = 2-(2'-pyridyl)-4,5-dicyanoimidazolato). The methanol solvated species has been studied by X-ray diffraction, and single crystals form in the space group P2(1)/n. The hydrated species was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy in both the solid state and in a frozen solution, and the values of A( parallel) examined using the additivity relationship. The hydrated species was shown to exhibit both spermicidal and cytoxic properties.
