V
O⋯C interactions in crystal structures of oxovanadium-coordination compounds†
Abstract
A survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (O⋯C interactions. V
O⋯C close contacts were found in 38.7% of structures containing vanadyl or pervanadyl groups. The V
O⋯C interaction is clearly distinguishable from a putative V
O⋯H–C hydrogen bond upon analysis of OCC crystal structures deposited in the CSD. In the majority of structures, the OCCs assemble to form dimers or
O⋯C interactions were also found to lead to
