Redetermination of μ-oxido-bis[bis(N,N-diethylhydroxylaminato)oxidovanadium(V)]

In comparison with the previous determination [Saussine, Mimoun, Mitschler & Fisher (1980). Nouv. J. Chim. 4, 235–237] of the title compound, [V2(C4H10NO)4O3], the current study reports an improved precision of the derived geometric parameters, along with the deposition of all coordinates and displacement parameters. The two VV atoms are each surrounded by two deprotonated N,O-bidentate diethylhydroxylaminate groups, and a terminal and a bridging oxide ligand, in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The crystal packing is accomplished by van der Waals interactions.
