title: Bis[3-dimethyl-amino-1-(2-pyrid-yl)prop-2-en-1-one-κN,O]tris-(nitrato-κO,O')praseodymium(III).
abstract: In the title compound, [Pr(NO(3))(3)(C(10)H(12)N(2)O)(2)], the Pr(III) ion is ten-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two bidentate 3-(dimethyl-amino)-1-(2-pyrid-yl)prop-2-en-1-one ligands and by six O atoms from three nitrate anions in a distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic geometry. An extensive three-dimensional network of weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds consolidates the crystal packing.
