Physical methods and analysis<br />

Infrared spectra were recorded as KBr pellets on a BUCK-<br />

500 FT-IR spectrometer. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded<br />

on a Bruker 500 (500 MHz) spectrometer using DMSO-d 6<br />

as a solvent and TMS as internal standard. GC-MS were<br />

recorded on a Hewlett Packard E1 mass spectrometer at<br />

70 eV. Elemental analysis was performed on Euro Vectro<br />

EA 3000A analyzer. All <strong>catalyzed</strong> reaction products were<br />

analyzed using UV–vis PG Instrument T-80 + .<br />

Preparation methods<br />

General method for preparation <strong>of</strong> Schiff <strong>base</strong> ligands<br />

Methanolic solutions <strong>of</strong> the aldehyde and amine were<br />

mixed at room temperature in a 1: 1 molar ratio using<br />

glacial acetic acid as a catalytic agent. The resulting mixture<br />

was refluxed for 2 h. The crystalline product was<br />

obtained from the deep-yellow coloured solution after<br />

standing for a few hours at 25°C. The precipitate was filtered<br />

<strong>of</strong>f and washed with ice-cold methanol. The pure<br />

compound was obtained <strong>by</strong> recrystallization from a suitable<br />

solvent.<br />

Preparation <strong>of</strong> the oxavanadium (<strong>IV</strong>) complexes<br />

All complexes were prepared according to the following<br />

procedure: a hot methanolic solution <strong>of</strong> VOSO 4 .3H 2 O<br />

(0.217 g, 1 mmol), was added drop wise to a hot methanolic<br />

solution <strong>of</strong> the ligand (1.5 mmol). The resulting<br />

mixture was stirred for 3 h and the products obtained
