Abstract

In the title compound, [Nb(CH(3)O)(3)(C(5)H(7)O(2))Cl], the Nb(V) atom is coordinated by two O atoms from the chelating acetyl-acetonate ligand, three O atoms from the methano-late groups and one chloride ligand. The octa-hedral environment around niobium is slightly distorted with Nb-O distances in the range 1.8603 (15)-2.1083 (15) Å and an Nb-Cl distance of 2.4693 (9) Å. The O-Nb-O angles vary between 80.74 (6) and 100.82 (7)°, while the trans Cl-Nb-O angle is 167.60 (5)°. There are no hydrogen bonds observed, only an inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action.
