In the title complex, [V(C(15)H(12)N(2)O(4))(CH(3)O)O], the V(V) ion exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry; three donor atoms from a hydrazone ligand and one O atom of the deprotonated methanol define the coordination basal plane. The V(V) ion is displaced by 0.464 (1) Å from the basal plane towards the axial oxide O atom. Intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding occurs. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is also observed in the crystal structure.
