title: cis-Chloridobis(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κ(2)N,N')oxidovanadium(IV) chloride ethanol monosolvate monohydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [VClO(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)]Cl·C(2)H(5)OH·H(2)O, the V(IV) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by four N atoms from two 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligands, one O atom and one Cl atom. In the crystal, O-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and π-π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7236 (17) and 3.6026 (19) Å] stabilize the structure. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are also present.
