Vanadium complexes are potent transition state inhibitors for phosphatases; this effect is important in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes and cancer. We are developing an undergraduate teaching lab experiment based on the inhibition of phosphatase by a class of non-innocent vanadium complexes to be used in the inorganic instructional laboratory after the synthesis and characterization of the selected vanadium complexes.
