Tris­(4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine)(trans-4-tert-butyl­cyclo­hexa­nolato)­deca-μ-oxido-hepta­oxido­hepta­vanadium aceto­nitrile monosolvate including another unknown solvent mol­ecule

The title hepta­nuclear alkoxido(oxido)vanadium(V) oxide cluster complex, [V(7)(C(10)H(19)O)O(17)(C(18)H(24)N(2))(3)]·CH(3)CN, was obtained by the reaction of [V(8)O(20)(C(18)H(24)N(2))(4)] with 4-tert-butyl­cyclo­hexa­nol (mixture of cis and trans) in a mixed CHCl(3)/CH(3)CN solvent. The complex has a V(7)O(18)N(6) core with approximately C (s) symmetry, which is composed of two VO(4) tetra­hedra, two VO(6) octa­hedra and three VO(4)N(2) octa­hedra. In the crystal, these complexes are linked together by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine ligand and the V(7)O(18)N(6) core, forming a one-dimensional network along the c-axis direction. Besides the complex, the asymmetric unit contains one CH(3)CN solvent mol­ecule. The contribution of other disordered solvent mol­ecules to the scattering was removed using the SQUEEZE option in PLATON [Spek (2015 ▸). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18]. The unknown solvent mol­ecules are not considered in the chemical formula and other crystal data. [Image: see text]
