    Two novel heterometallic complexes [Cd­(NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>6</sub>]­[{VO­(O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(OH)}<sub>2</sub>{μ-Cd­(NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>}] (<b>2</b>) and [{VO­(O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(Im)}<sub>2</sub>{μ-Cu­(Im)<sub>4</sub>}] (<b>3</b>) (Im = imidazole) containing peroxidovanadium complexes as metalloligands were prepared and characterized by spectral methods. X-ray single-crystal analysis revealed the presence of unique trinuclear complexes in the crystal structures of <b>2</b> and <b>3</b>. The structure of <b>2</b> contains an anionic complex, whose two {VO­(O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(OH)}<sup>2–</sup> ions are interconnected by a {μ-Cd­(NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>}<sup>2+</sup> group. Compound <b>3</b> is a trinuclear neutral complex comprising two {VO­(O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(Im)}<sup>−</sup> ions and a single bridging {μ-Cu­(Im)<sub>4</sub>}<sup>2+</sup> group. The bonding via an equatorial OH<sup>–</sup> ligand in <b>2</b> and via a doubly bonded apical oxygen atom in <b>3</b> represents coordination modes previously unobserved for diperoxidovanadium complexes. Compared with complex <b>2</b>, density functional theory studies reported decreased Cu−μ-O bond orders and increased μ-O–V bond orders in <b>3</b>, in accordance with the expected Jahn–Teller distortion of the latter complex

    New vanadium complexes of mandelic acid (NMe4)4[V2O4((R)-mand)2][V2O4((S)-mand)2] (1), (NMe4)2[V2O4((S)-mand)2]·H2O (2), (NEt4)2[V2O4((S)-mand)2]·H2O (3), (PPh4)2[V2O4((R)-mand)((S)-mand)]·2H3CCOCH3·2H2O (4), and (NH4)2.5(NEt4)0.5[V3O7((R)-mand)((S)-mand)]·2H2O (5) (mand2− = mandelato ligand) have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. The band assignment in the IR spectra was corroborated by DFT calculations. While the structures of 1–4 comprise the expected dinuclear [V2O4(mand)2]2− (V2L2) anions, the structure of [V3O7((R)-mand)((S)-mand)]3− (V3L2) in 5 is unique and represents a new structural type in vanadium(V) chemistry. Solution studies of vanadate with mandelic acid by 51V NMR revealed the presence of two dominant species V2L2 and V3L2 in aqueous solutions and increasing fraction of V3L2 species at slightly acidic pH (pH ≈ 6)
