Abstract/Summary

The orthorhombic crystalline variety (with Pbca space group) of the title complex [V2O3(L)(2)], incorporating the doubly deprotonated tridentate benzoyl hydrazone of 2-hydroxy-5-methylacetophenone has been synthesized from the decomposition of [(VO)-O-IV(L)(bipy)] complex in CH2Cl2 and structurally characterized in contrast to its recently reported monoclinic variety (with C2/c space group) obtained from the reaction of [VO(acac)(2)] with H2L in acetone.
