We report the structural characterization of vanadyl acetylacetonate in imidazolium room temperature ionic liquids--bbimNTf(2), bmimNTf(2), C(3)OmimNTf(2), bm(2)imNTf(2), bmimPF(6), bmimOTf, bmimBF(4), bmimMeCO(2), bmimMeSO(4), bmimMe(2)PO(4) and bmimN(CN)(2)--and organic solvents. The complex was characterized by visible electronic (Vis) and EPR spectroscopies. VO(acac)(2) shows solvatochromis...
