Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of the title V^IV complex of a salicylaldimine, [V(C₂₀H₁₄N₂O₄)O]·2C₂H₆OS·2H₂O, is described. The reaction of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 1,2-phenylenediamine with vanadyl sulfate produces a monomeric V^IV complex. Its structure reveals that the vanadium(IV) ion is pentacoordinated and situated in a distorted square-pyramidal environment.
