The title oxidovanadium(V) complex, [V(C(17)H(17)N(3)O(2))(CH(3)O)O], was obtained by the reaction of 2-acetyl-phenol, 4-dimethyl-amino-benzohydrazide and vanadyl sulfate in methanol. The V(V) atom is five-coordinated by N,O,O'-donor atoms of the Schiff base ligand, one meth-oxy O atom and one oxide O atom, forming a square-pyramidal geometry.
