Abstract
The voltammetric behaviour of amavadine (AV) was found to be considerably different from that of the complexes of VO2+ with methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) and iminodiacetic acid (IDA). To get an insight in the rather complicated reduction mechanism of the latter complexes the reductions of V(III) (MIDA) and V(III) (IDA) have been studied for comparison. The species V(III) (MIDA)2 and V(III) (IDA)2 are reduced to the appropriate V(II) complexes in a chemically reversible process. VO(MIDA)2 and VO(IDA)2 are reduced to the same complexes via an ECE mechanism. The investigation of the electroreduction of AV shows that this process is not reversible in the chemical sense. As a probable explanation, the conclusion was drawn that AV and the usual V(IV)O-iminocarboxylato complexes differ in their structures.Keywords
