In the title compound, [V(CH3O)(C6H5O3)2O], the V—O bond lengths to the oxo and methoxo ligands are 1.593 (3) and 1.768 (3) Å, respectively, at 120 K; the V—O bond lengths trans to these two ligands are 2.246 (3) and 2.116 (3) Å. Molecules are linked by three C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into complex ribbons containing three types of ring.
Comment
3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol) is both a food additive (E636) and a versatile ligand for the design of insulin-enhancing vanadium complexes, and several vanadium complexes of maltol derivatives have been shown to be active insulin enhancers (McNeill et al., 1992; Thompson et al., 2003; Saatchi et al., 2005). The reaction between maltol and tris(pentane-2,4-dionato)vanadium(III) was studied in the hope of producing a mixed-ligand complex of vanadium(III)
containing both maltolate and pentane-2,4-dionate ligands; in the event, the crystalline product isolated is the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), a complex of vanadium(V) containing no pentane-2,4-dionate ligands.The structure of (I) has been reported previously from diffraction data collected at ambient temperature (Sun et al., 1996); in that study, the compound had been formed as the product of aerial oxidation of bis(2-methyl-3-oxo-4-pyronido)oxovanadium(IV) in methanol solution. The ready formation of (I) from both vanadium(III) and vanadium(IV) precursors indicates its high thermodynamic stability. This earlier (Sun et al., 1996) was intended as a proof of composition and constitution, and no mention whatever was made of any intermolecular interactions. We have now taken the opportunity to redetermine this structure using diffraction data collected at 120 K, and we also present a full description of the supramolecular aggregation. The unit-cell dimensions and the indicate that no phase change has occurred between ambient temperature and 120 K.
Apart from the oxo and methoxo substituents, the remainder of the complex has approximately twofold rotational symmetry, but overall there is no even approximate internal symmetry. Accordingly, the molecules are chiral, although the compound is racemic. The centrosymmetric Λ and Δ enantiomers; the selected reference molecule has the Λ configuration. The intermolecular geometry found at 120 K closely resembles that reported at ambient temperature. The bond distances (Table 1) for the pyran ligands support the bond-fixed form (A) (see scheme), although the C14—O14 and C24—O24 bonds are long for their type (Allen et al., 1987). However, the differences between the C16—O11 and C26—O21 bond distances on the one hand, and C12—O11 and C22—O21 on the other, which are also apparent in the ambient-temperature structure although not remarked upon (Sun et al., 1996), have no obvious simple explanation.
accommodates equal numbers ofThe molecules of (I) are linked into a rather complex ribbon by three independent C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) in which the acceptors are three of the four O atoms in the chelate rings; surprisingly, oxo ligand O41 is not involved in the hydrogen bonding. The formation of the chain is readily analysed in terms of two simple substructures. In the first atom C16 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to atom O24 in the molecule at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), so forming a cyclic centrosymmetric R22(14) (Bernstein et al., 1995) dimer (Fig. 2), which contains one Λ molecule and one Δ molecule and so is itself achiral.
In the second x, y, z) act as hydrogen-bond donors, respectively, to atoms O14 and O23, both in the molecule at (x, 1 − y, + z), so forming a C(6)C(6)[R22(7)] chain of rings running parallel to the [001] direction and generated by the c-glide plane at y = (Fig. 2). The combination of these two motifs then generates a ribbon along [001]; in the central strip of this ribbon, there are R22(14) rings centred at [, , (n + 1)/2] (n = zero or integer) alternating with R44(18) rings, and this chain of edge-fused rings is flanked by two antiparallel arrays of R22(7) rings (Fig. 2). Two such ribbons, related to one another by the C-centring operation, pass through each but there are no direction-specific interactions between adjacent chains.

A mixture of tris(pentane-2,4-dionato)vanadium(III) (0.30 g) and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (0.19 g) in methanol (30 ml) was heated under reflux for 3 h under an atmosphere of dinitrogen. The resulting solution was cooled and then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide crystals of (I) suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction (no melting point, decomposition above 570 K).

3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol) is both a food additive (E636) and a versatile ligand for the design of insulin-enhancing vanadium complexes, and several vanadium complexes of maltol derivatives have been shown to be active insulin enhancers (McNeill et al., 1992; Thompson et al., 2003; Saatchi et al., 2005). The reaction between maltol and tris(pentane-2,4-dionato)vanadium(III) was studied in the hope of producing a mixed-ligand complex of vanadium(III) containing both maltolate and pentane-2,4-dionate ligands; in the event, the crystalline product isolated is the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), a complex of vanadium(V) containing no pentane-2,4-dionate ligands.
The structure of (I) has been reported from diffraction data collected at ambient temperature (Sun et al., 1996); in that study, the compound had been formed as the product of aerial oxidation of [bis-(2-methyl-3-oxo-4-pyronido)oxovanadium(IV)] in methanol solution. The ready formation of (I) from both vanadium(III) and vanadium(IV) precursors indicates its high thermodynamic stability. This earlier structure determination (Sun et al., 1996) was intended as a proof of composition and constitution, and no mention whatever was made of any intermolecular interactions. We have now taken the opportunity to redetermine this structure using diffraction data collected at 120 K, and we also present a full description of the supramolecular aggregation. The unit-cell dimensions and the space group indicate that no phase change has occurred between ambient temperature and 120 K.
Apart from the oxo and methoxo substituents, the remainder of the complex has approximately twofold rotational symmetry, but overall there is no even approximate internal symmetry. Accordingly the molecules are chiral, although the compound is racemic. The centrosymmetric space group accommodates equal numbers of Λ and Δ enantiomers; the selected reference molecule has the Λ configuration. The intermolecular geometry found at 120 K closely resembles that reported at ambient temperature. The bond distances (Table 1) for the pyronide ligands support the bond-fixed form (A) (see scheme), although the C14—O14 and C24—O24 bonds are long for their type (Allen et al., 1987). However, the differences between the C16—O11 and C26—O21 bond distances on the one hand, and C12—O11 and C22—O21 on the other, which are also apparent in the ambient-temperature structure although not remarked upon (Sun et al., 1996), have no obvious simple explanation.
The molecules of (I) are linked into a rather complex ribbon by three independent C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) in which the acceptors are three of the four O atoms in the chelate rings: surprisingly, the oxo ligand O41 is not involved in the hydrogen bonding. The formation of the chain is readily analysed in terms of two simple substructures. In the first substructure, atom C16 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to atom O24 in the molecule at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), so forming a cyclic centrosymmetric R22(14) (Bernstein et al., 1995) dimer (Fig. 2), which contains one Λ molecule and one Δ molecule and so is itself achiral.
In the second substructure, atoms C25 and C26 in the molecule at (x, y, z) act as hydrogen-bond donors, respectively, to atoms O14 and O23, both in the molecule at (x, 1 − y, 1/2 + z), so forming a C(6) C(6)[R22(7)] chain of rings running parallel to the [001] direction and generated by the c-glide plane at y = 1/2 (Fig. 2). The combination of these two motifs then generates a ribbon along [001]; in the central strip of this ribbon there are R22(14) rings centred at [1/2, 1/2, (n + 1)/2] (n = zero or integer) alternating with R44(18) rings, and this chain of edge-fused rings is flanked by two antiparallel arrays of R22(7) rings (Fig. 2). Two such ribbons, related to one another by the C-centring operation, pass through each unit cell, but there are no direction-specific interactions between adjacent chains.
