The oxovanadium(IV) complex of formula [VOCl(H2biim)2]Cl (H2biim=2,2%-biimidazole) has been prepared and characterized by chemical analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and IR and electronic spectroscopies. The crystal structure consists of chains of alternating [VOCl(H2biim)2] + cations and Cl anions, linked together by N H···Cl···H N hydrogen bonds. The vanadium atom lies in a very dist...
