Abstract
The oxovanadium(IV) complex of formula [VOCl(H(2)biim)(2)]Cl (H(2)biim = 2, 2'-biimidazole) has been prepared and characterized by chemical analysis, s ingle crystal X-ray diffraction, and IR and electronic spectroscopies. The crystal structure consists of chains of alternating [VOCl(H(2)biim)(2)](+) cations and Cl- anions, linked together by N-H . . . Cl-. . .H-N hydrogen b onds. The vanadium atom lies in a very distorted octahedral coordination. T he magnetic moment and the EPR signal correspond to a d(1) configuration wi thout any magnetic interaction.
