The aquaoxidobis(picolinato)vanadium(IV) complex [VO(pic)₂(H₂O)] was synthesized, and its interactions with various potential N- and O-donor ligands in organic solvents were investigated. The starting compound, ligands, and obtained products were analysed by powder X-ray diffraction. In the reactions with 2-methylimidazole, 3-aminopyridine, and 4-aminopyridine, the powder X-ray diffraction results indicated the formation of new crystalline phases, as diffraction peaks were observed that were not present in the diffraction patterns of the starting compound or the corresponding ligands. For the other ligands investigated, the formation of new crystalline phases could not be reliably confirmed, or amorphous or poorly crystalline products were obtained.
