Two new oxovanadium(V) complexes, [VOL1(OEt)(EtOH)] (1) and [VOL2(OMe)(MeOH)] (2), were prepared by reaction of [VO(acac)2] (where acac = acetylacetonate) with N′-(3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-methylbenzohydrazide (H2L1) in ethanol and N′-(3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-methoxybenzohydrazide (H2L2) in methanol, respectively. Crystal and molecular structures of the complexes were determined by elemental
