Abstract Details

2019, Master of Science, Miami University, Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Decavanadates, a type of oxovanadate containing the decavanadate anion, [V10O28], were prepared using different starting materials for analysis with 51V NMR, to study how the decavanadate anions behave over time immediately following their dissolution. The different decavanadate crystal samples were produced using the starting materials KVO3 and V2O5 before being dissolved in a deuterated solvent for NMR. The changes observed in the 51V NMR spectra, along with observations of the samples during production, indicate noticeable differences between the decavanadates grown using KVO3 and those prepared using V2O5. Peak shifting was observed in the 51V NMR data, along with the appearance of different vanadate species, as time progressed. Analysis of the samples using other methods such as UV-visible spectroscopy, MS, and XRD supported conclusions based on the NMR data. Understanding how the decavanadate anions changed in solution over time, and the potential causes for observed changes gives insight into the natural processes involved in the ephemeral crystallization of decavanadate minerals and associated transport of V in natural systems.
