Vanadium(III) oxide
Vanadium(III) oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula V2O3. It is a black solid prepared by reduction of V2O5 with hydrogen or carbon monoxide.[2][3] It is a basic oxide dissolving in acids to give solutions of vanadium (III) complexes.[3] V2O3 has the corundum structure.[3] It is antiferromagnetic with a critical temperature of 160 K. [4] At this temperature there is an abrupt change in conductivity from metallic to insulating.[4]

Upon exposure to air it gradually converts into indigo-blue V2O4.[4]
In nature it occurs as the rare mineral karelianite.[5]
