Bis(acetyl-acetonato-κO,O')(2-amino-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-κN)oxido-vanadium(IV).

The title mixed-ligand oxidovanadium(IV) compound, [VO(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(8)H(9)N(3))], contains a V(IV) atom in a distorted octahedral coordination, which is typical for such complexes. The vanadyl group and the N-heterocyclic ligand are cis to each other. The coordination bond is located at the endocyclic N atom of the benzimidazole ligand. Intra-molecular hydrogen bonds between the exo-NH(2) group H atoms and acetyl-acetonate O atoms stabilize the crystal structure.
