Crystal structure of {2,2'-[ethyl-enebis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenolato-κ(4) O,N,N',O'}oxidovanadium(IV) methanol monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: Two independent mol-ecules of the title solvated complex, [V(C16H14N2O2)O]·CH3OH, also known as [N,N'-bis-(salicyl-idene)ethyl-enedi-amine]-oxidovanadium(IV) or vanadyl salen, crystallize in the asymmetric unit. Each disordered methanol solvent mol-ecule [occupancy ratios 0.678 (4):0.322 (4) and 0.750 (5):0.250 (5)] is linked to a [N,N'-bis-(salicyl-idene)ethyl-enedi-amine]-oxidovanadium(IV) mol-ecule by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and to others by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The resulting extended structure consists of a bilayer of mol-ecules parallel to the ab plane. Despite the fact that solvates are common in complexes derived from substituted analogues of the N,N'-bis-(salicyl-idene)ethyl-enedi-amine ligand, the title solvate is the first one of [N,N'-bis-(salicyl-idene)ethyl-enedi-amine]-oxidov
