Bis{[6-meth-oxy-2-(4-methyl-phen-yl)iminiometh-yl]phenolate-?O,O'}tris-(nitrato-?O,O')europium(III).

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of title compound, [Eu(NO(3))(3)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(2)], contains two Schiff base 6-meth-oxy-2-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolate (L) ligands and three independent nitrate ions that chelate to the europium(III) ion via the O atoms. The coordination number of the Eu(III) ion is ten. The L ligands chelate with a strong Eu-O(deprotonated phenolate) bond and a weak Eu-O(meth-oxy) contact, the latter can be inter-preted as the apices of the bicapped square-anti-prismatic Eu(III) polyhedron. Intra-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds occur.
