Vanadium atoms with distorted trigonalbipyrimidal coordination are found in dimer 1 ; the oxo ligand of one monomeric unit and a bridged O atom of an alkoxy ligand of the second form the apexes of the bipyramid. The enzymatic cleavage of phosphate esters, which is presumed to proceed via a transition state with a pentavalent phosphorus atom, can be inhibited by vanadates. Complexes like 1 may serve as model compounds for this transition state.
