Crystal structure of tris(N-methylsalicylaldiminato-κ2N,O)vanadium(III)

Abstract

The structure of the title complex, [V(C8H8NO)3], comprises neutral and discrete complexes, in which the VIII cation is coordinated by three anionic N-methylalicylaldiminate ligands within a slightly distorted mer-N3O3 octahedral geometry. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked via C—H...O hydrogen bonds into supramolecular chains that extend along the c axis.
