TL;DR: There is no striking correlation between the nature of the ligand systems and the insulin-mimetic potency in these cell culture tests, encompassing 41 vanadium compounds, the results on 22 of which are reported in detail here.

TL;DR: These reactions for the speciation of vanadium under physiological conditions are addressed and have been characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal and molecular structures of complexes 3a·OCMe2, 5a, and 5b have been obtained, revealing basically a tetragonal pyramid, and coordination of the sulfur function in the thiocarbonyl (3) or enethiolate mode (5).

TL;DR: The relevance of these compounds and their formation for the interaction between vanadium and thiofunctional biomolecules is addressed.

TL;DR: In vitro study of the insulin-mimetic behavior of vanadium(IV, V) coordination compounds was performed in this article, where vanadium-IV coordination compounds were used as coordination compounds.
