Crystal structure of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)oxovanadium(IV)

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, [VO(CS₂·NEt₂)₂], has been determined by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R 0.056 for 2 017 reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a= 12.863(4), b= 14.023(5), c= 9.558(3)Å, β= 104.05(3)°, Z= 4. The molecular core has the expected C_2v symmetry [V–O 1.591 (4), V–S 2.387(2)–2.410(2)Å]. The V–O axis is almost parallel to c.
