Mechanochemical Synthesis of Vanadium(III) β-Diketonates

The effect of the mechanical treatment conditions and of the nature of reactants on the course of the solid-phase reaction of vanadium(III) chloride with sodium beta-diketonates and potassium tetramethylheptanedionate, on the yield of the reaction products, and on some properties of the activated mixtures was examined. A method was developed for the synthesis of vanadium(III) beta-diketonates by the solid-phase mechanochemical reaction of vanadium(III) chloride with appropriate sodium or potassium beta-diketonate, followed by sublimation or extraction.
