title: A binuclear vanadium oxyfluoride: di-μ-oxido-bis-[fluoridooxido(1,10-phenanthro-line)vanadium(V)].
abstract: The title compound, [V(2)F(2)O(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], is a centrosymmetric binuclear vanadium(V) species with the metal ions in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The symmetry-equivalent V(V) atoms exhibit coordination geometries defined by cis-terminal fluoride and oxide groups, unsymmetrically bridging oxide groups and the N-atom donors of the phenanthroline ligands. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
