{2,2′-[Ethyl­enebis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato-κ(4) O,N,N′,O′}oxido­vanadium(IV)

The title compound, [V(C(16)H(14)N(2)O(2))O], was synthesized by the reaction of vanadyl(IV) sulfate and N,N′-bis­(salicyl­idene)ethyl­enediamine under hydro­thermal conditions. The asymmetric unit contains two mol­ecules. Each V(IV) atom is coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry by two N atoms and two O atoms from a ligand in the basal plane and by an oxide O atom in the apical position. Weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional supra­molecular structure.
