| Summary: | In the title compound, [V(C7H3NO4)O(C10H8N2)]·C2H5OH, the VIV atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination environment formed by two pyridyl N atoms of 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), the vanadyl O atom, and two carboxylate O atoms and one pyridyl N atom of the tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (pydc2−) ligand. The pyridyl N atom of the pydc2− anion and one pyridyl N atom of bpy occupy the axial positions. O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the ethanol solvent molecule as donor and a carboxylate O atom as acceptor atoms, as well as C—H...O hydrogen bonds, together with π–π stacking interactions between adjacent aromatic rings (average centroid–centroid distance = 3.577 Å), seem to be effective in the stabilization of the crystal packing, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional structure.
