S. L. Raishbrook, P. Turner and R. Codd

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [VO(C₅H₉O₃)₂(C₅H₈N₂)], has been obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data measured at 150  K. The title compound provides a potential synthon for complexes that model V-containing haloperoxidases. The complex is pseudo-octahedral and the metal-oxo bond length is 1.595  (2)  Å.
