Ethanol(ethoxy)[3-methoxysalicylaldehyde (4-methoxybenzoyl)hydrazonato-κ3O,N,O′]oxovanadium(V)
Abstract
The six-coordinated VV atom in the title complex, [VOL(OCH2CH3)(CH3CH2OH)] [H2L = 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde (4-methoxybenzoyl)hydrazone] or [VO(C2H5O)(C16H14N2O4)(C2H6O)], displays a distorted octahedral VO(ONO)(O)(O) coordination. The equatorial plane is defined by one N and two O atoms of the tridentate hydrazone ligand and the ethoxy O atom, while the axial oxo group is trans to the ethanol O atom. Adjacent molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds into a chain structure along the c axis.
