Abstract
In the title heteronuclear ZnII–SmIII complex, [SmZn(C18H18N2O4)(NO3)3(CH3CH2OH)], with the hexadentate Schiff base compartmental ligand N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)ethylenediamine (H2 L), the SmIII and ZnII ions are triply bridged by two phenolate O atoms from the Schiff base ligand and one nitrate anion. The five-coordinate ZnII ion is in a square-pyramidal geometry formed by the donor centers of two imine N atoms, two phenolate O atoms and one of the bridging nitrate O atoms. The SmIII center is in a ten-fold coordination of O atoms, involving the phenolate O atoms, two methoxy O atoms, one ethanol O atom, and two O atoms from two nitrate anions and one from the bridging nitrate anion. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O interactions generate a layer structure extending parallel to (101).
