Spectral studies and thermal analysis of new vanadium complexes of ethanolamine and related compounds

• Newly synthesized complexes of VIII, VIV and VO2+ with ethanolamines were described.
• The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moment measurements, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy.
• Absorption spectra in seven different solvents were recorded.
• The solvatochromism was examined and discussed.
• Some complexes were studied by thermal analysis using DTA and TG techniques.

The electronic absorption spectral behaviors of newly synthesized complexes of VIII, VIV and VO2+ with Ethanolamine, Diethanolamine and Triethanolamine were described. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moment measurements, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Absorption spectra in seven different solvents were recorded. The solvatochromism was examined and discussed. Dipolar interactions between the solvent and the complexes were used to correlate the observed spectral shifts to solvent polarity. Some of the obtained complexes were studied by thermal analysis using DTA and TG techniques.
