The penta­nuclear title compound, [V5(C7H13O)10O5], has a metal–oxygen core that consists of five vanadyl(IV) centres bridged by the O atoms of cyclo­hexyl­methanol­ate ligands. This particular ring topology is new to oxovanadium(IV) chemistry and resembles the structure proposed for [V5O15]5− on the basis of 51V NMR studies in aqueous solution. The bulky cyclo­hexyl­methanol­ate ligands adopt chair-like conformations and project outwards from the central cyclic core. The title compound crystallizes in a centrosymmetric triclinic unit cell, which contains four independent but chemically identical mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure is devoid of any significant inter­molecular inter­actions.
