The components dichloro­(N,N-dimethyl­formamide)[hydro­tris(pyrazol-1-yl)borato]vanadium(III), [TpVCl2(DMF)], and its partially oxidized analog chloro­(N,N-dimethyl­formamide)[hydro­tris(pyrazol-1-yl)borato]oxovanadium(IV), [TpVOCl(DMF)], cocrystallize in an approximately 1:1 ratio, viz. [V(C9H10BN6)Cl2(C3H6NO)][V(C9H10BN6)ClO(C3H6NO)]. The components both exist in the solid state with disorder of the Cl/O site and with V in a pseudo-octa­hedral coordination geometry. The complexes each have three pyrazole units of the hydro­tris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate ligand bound to one `face' of the vanadium center and one chloro, one oxo/chloro, and one oxo-bound N,N-dimethyl­formamide ligand bound to the other face.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. The structure can be modeled with the appropriate molecular formula TpVCl2(DMF), but both Cl atoms were modeled for disorder with an O atom, using PARTs and a separate FVAR (e.g. 21/-21). Each Cl/O disorder was given its own FVAR and allowed to refine. The occupancies of one Cl/O pair refined to 92/8 and, as such, were modeled as 100% Cl in future refinements. The remaining Cl/O pair occupancies were allowed to continue to freely vary and settled at the 53/47 ratio reported in the comment. We had considered fixing the value at 0.5/0.5, but we had no chemical justification for doing so. We have collected data on more than one of these ?green? crystals and note some variability to the O percentage, but it does seem to be a co-crystallization.
