Cavansite, a mineral containing the vanadyl cation that illustrates its characteristic color

The vanadyl or oxovanadium(IV)

coordination chemistry of vanadium. Complexes containing this functional group are characteristically blue and paramagnetic. A triple bond is proposed to exist between the V4+ and O2− centers.[2] The description of the bonding in the vanadyl ion was central to the development of modern ligand-field theory.[3]

Natural occurrence

Minerals

Cavansite and pentagonite are vanadyl-containing minerals.

Water

VO2+, often in an ionic pairing with sodium (NaH2VO4), is the second most abundant

liter.[4]
