Vanadium, with chemical symbol V and atomic number 23, is a member of the d-block metals and belongs to group 5 of the periodic table of elements. Vanadium can be found in the earth’s crust in numerous minerals and is isolated from ores mostly as a by-product. Its main application is in the steel industry, where it is used as an alloy in combination with iron. Vanadium pentaoxide is also being used as a catalyst for the production of sulfuric acid. The metal vanadium has very similar properties to titanium. Therefore, it is not surprising that its metallocene, vanadium dichloride, was also subjected to research as a potential anticancer agent.
