Product Information

• Name: Sodium orthovanadate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Sodium orthovanadate is a vanadium compound that is often used as a model system for studying the properties of other transition metal compounds. It has been shown to have hypoglycemic effects in mice, and has also been shown to have synergic effects with other drugs such as clofibrate, troglitazone, and metformin. The coordination geometry of sodium orthovanadate is octahedral, with one vanadium atom at the center and six oxygen atoms around it. It is an ionic compound that dissolves well in water. Sodium orthovanadate can be found in nature as a mineral called meta-vanadinite or vanadic acid. The crystal structure of sodium orthovanadate has been studied using x-ray diffraction data, which revealed that its structure changes from cubic to hexagonal when heated to temperatures above its phase transition temperature (approximately 300°C).
