Di-μ-oxido-bis({2-[(R,R)-(−)-(2-aminocyclohexyl)iminomethyl]-4-nitrophenolato-κ3N,N′,O}oxidovanadium(V)) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate
Abstract
The title compound, [V2(C13H16N3O3)2O4]·2C2H6OS, is a centrosymmetric dimeric complex solvated by two dimethyl sulfoxide molecules. Each VV atom is six-coordinated by one oxide group, two N atoms and one O atom from the tridentate Schiff base ligand, and by two additional bridging O atoms in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Three atoms of the cyclohexane ring are each disordered over two sites, with occupancy factors of 0.501 (10) and 0.499 (10). C—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the dimers and solvent molecules into a supramolecular network.
