Abstract: The absorption spectrum of vanadium(III) slightly acid solutions (pH > 2) exhibits a strong band with maximum at 436 nm, which so far was ascribed to the VOH2+ ion. The average molar absorptivity considerably increases with the increase of metal concentration as well as with the increase of p H up to the value pH 3.2—3.5. At higher pH the absorbance decreases. Our studies show that the visible absorption spectrum of vanadium(III) in the range pH 2— 3.5 is a charge-transfer spectrum of the binuclear hydroxo complex. The weak bands of the VOH2+ ion are isolated out of the spectrum graphically and by calculations. Vanishing absorption in 436 nm band at higher values of pH and normal magnetic behaviour of the binuclear complex may be explained as due to a change of strongly absorbing binuclear complex into a new polynuclear (D4h) complex with higher ratio of OH groups per vanadium atom.
