Abstract
The asymmetric unit of title compound, [Ce(NO3)3(C15H15NO2)2(CH3OH)], consists of two Schiff base 2-methoxy-6-[(4-methylphenyl)iminiomethyl]phenolate (HL) ligands, three nitrate anions and a methanol ligand. The CeIII ion is 11-coordinated: three nitrate radical anions coordinate to the CeIII ion through O atoms, two HL ligands chelate the CeIII ion through the O atoms of the phenolate and methoxy groups, and one methanol molecule coordinates to CeIII ion through its O atom. The O atom of one nitrate anion is disordered over two sites of equal occupancy. The protonated imine N atoms are involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the phenoxide groups. C—H⋯O interactions are also observed.
