The mononuclear title complex, [VCl2O(C3H8S)2], features a VIV=O double bond [1.5845 (15) Å] in an overall trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environment defined by two Cl− and the S atoms of two (CH3CH2)(CH3)S ligands. In the crystal, pairs of molecules form centrosymmetric dimers via C—HO hydrogen bonds between the methyl C—H group and the oxidovanadium O atom of a neighbouring molecule.
