The crystal of II crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c with a = 26.760(3), b = 6.655(1), c = 17.570(2) Å, β = 100.335(2)°, V = 3078.2(7) ų, Z = 8. The V atom in I is in an octahedral coordination, and those in II are intervenient between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal coordination.
