title: Bis(μ-methano-lato-κO:O)bis-{[4-bromo-N'-(1-methyl-3-oxidobut-2-en-1-yl-idene-κO)benzohydrazidato-κN',O]oxido-vanadium(V)}.
abstract: The dinuclear compound, [V(2)(C(12)H(11)BrN(2)O(2))(2)(CH(3)O)(2)O(2)], lies on a center of inversion. The doubly-deprotonated Schiff base O,N,O'-chelates to the V(V) atom; two metal atoms are bridged by the methoxide units. The coordination geometry is a distorted octa-hedron. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure. The bromo-phenyl unit is disordered over two positions, with the major component being in a 0.909 (6) proportion.
