Vanadate

In chemistry, a vanadate is an anionic coordination complex of vanadium. Often vanadate refers to oxoanions of vanadium, most of which exist in its highest oxidation state of +5. The complexes [V(CN)6]3− and [V2Cl9]3− are referred to as hexacyanovanadate(III) and nonachlorodivanadate(III), respectively.

A simple vanadate ion is the tetrahedral orthovanadate anion, VO3−4 (which is also called vanadate(V)), which is present in e.g. sodium orthovanadate and in solutions of V2O5 in strong base (pH > 13[1]). Conventionally this ion is represented with a single double bond, however this is a resonance form as the ion is a regular tetrahedron with four equivalent oxygen atoms.

Additionally a range of polyoxovanadate ions exist which include discrete ions and "infinite" polymeric ions.[2] There are also vanadates, such as rhodium vanadate, RhVO4, which has a statistical rutile structure where the Rh3+ and V5+ ions randomly occupy the Ti4+ positions in the rutile lattice,[3] that do not contain a lattice of cations and balancing vanadate anions but are mixed oxides.

In chemical nomenclature when vanadate forms part of the name, it indicates that the compound contains an anion with a central vanadium atom, e.g. ammonium hexafluorovanadate is a common name for the compound [NH4]3[VF6] with the IUPAC name of ammonium hexafluoridovanadate(III).

Examples of oxovanadate ions

[edit]

Some examples of discrete ions are

  • VO3−4 "orthovanadate", tetrahedral.[2]
  • V2O4−7 "pyrovanadate", corner-shared VO4 tetrahedra, similar to the dichromate ion[2]
  • V3O3−9, cyclic with corner-shared VO4 tetrahedra[4]
  • V4O4−12, cyclic with corner-shared VO4 tetrahedra[5]
  • V5O3−14, corner shared VO4 tetrahedra[6]
  • V6O6−18, ring.[7]
  • V10O6−28 "decavanadate", edge- and corner-shared VO6 octahedra[2]
  • V12O4−32
  • V13O3−34, fused VO6 octahedra [8]
  • V18O12−42[9]

In these ions vanadium exhibits tetrahedral, square pyramidal and octahedral coordination. In this respect vanadium shows similarities to tungstate and molybdate, whereas chromium however has a more limited range of ions.

Aqueous solutions

[edit]

Dissolution of vanadium pentoxide in strongly basic aqueous solution gives the colourless VO3−4 ion. On acidification, this solution's colour gradually darkens through orange to red at around pH 7. Brown hydrated V2O5 precipitates around pH 2, redissolving to form a light yellow solution containing the [VO2(H2O)4]+ ion. The number and identity of the oxyanions that exist between pH 13 and 2 depend on pH as well as concentration. For example, protonation of vanadate initiates a series of condensations to produce polyoxovanadate ions:[2]

  • pH 9–12: HVO2−4, V2O4−7
  • pH 4–9: H2VO4, V4O4−12, HV10O5−28
  • pH 2–4: H3VO4, H2V10O4−28

Pharmacological properties

[edit]

Vanadate is a potent inhibitor of certain plasma membrane ATPases, such as Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA). Acting as a transition-state analog of phosphate, vanadate undergoes nucleophillic attack by water during phosphoryl transfer, essentially "trapping" P-type ATPases in their phosphorylated E2 state. [11][12] It also inhibits skeletal muscle actomyosin MgATPase activity[13] and calcium activated force generation by actomyosin in the intact skeletal muscle contractile apparatus.[14] However, it does not inhibit other ATPases, such as SERCA (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase) or mitochondrial ATPase.[15][16][17]
