Hydrogen-bonded sheets in racemic cis-(2,2'-bipyridyl-kappa2N,N')oxo(pentane-2,4-dionato-kappa2O,O')(thiocyanato-kappaN)vanadium(IV).
The title compound, [V(C5H7O2)(NCS)O(C10H8N2)], crystallizes with Z' = 2 in the space group Pbca. The molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of four C-H...O hydrogen bonds and one C-H...N hydrogen bond. The four C-H...O hydrogen bonds generate chains of rings, where each chain contains just a single enantiomer of each of the two independent molecules, while the C-H...N hydrogen bond generates a chain containing both enantiomers of just one of the independent molecules.
