title: Bis(2,6-dihy-droxy-benzoato-κO,O)(nitrato-κO,O')bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')gadolinium(III).
abstract: In the mononuclear title complex, [Gd(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)(NO(3))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Gd atom is in a pseudo-bicapped square-anti-prismatic geometry formed by four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and by six O atoms, four from two 2,6-dihy-droxy-benzoate (DHB) ligands and the other two from a nitrate anion. π-π stacking inter-actions between phen-DHB [centroid-centroid distances = 3.5334 (18) and 3.8414 (16) Å] and phen-phen [face-to-face separation = 3.4307 (17) Å] ligands of adjacent complex molecules stabilize the crystal structure. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the DHB ligands.
