Abstract: In the reaction of bis(1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionato)oxovanadium(IV) with pyridine, a 1:1 adduct is formed, viz bis(1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionato-²O,O')oxo(pyridine-N)vanadium(IV), [V(C₁₅H₁₀O₂)₂O(C₅H₅N)]. The V atom is surrounded by one pyridine ligand, two 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propandionate (dbm) ligands and one oxo group. The complex exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination, with the oxo group and pyridine ligand in a cis configuration. Pairs of molecules of the adduct are connected by an intermolecular C41-H41O1(-x, 2 - y, 1 - z) contact of 3.171 (3) Å and thus form dimers in the solid state.
