Aqua(ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetato-O,O')oxovanadium(IV)

In the title compound, [VO(C₆H₁₀N₂O₄)(H₂O)], the V atom is situated in a distorted octahedral geometry. The ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetate (edda) ligand coordinates to the vanadium center in the symmetric α-cis fashion, which differs from the β-cis coordination mode in (NH₄)[VO₂(edda)] in the solid state. The distance from the vanadium center to the N atom trans to the oxo ligand is significantly elongated as a result of a strong trans influence of the oxo ligand.
