title: (Methanol-κO)bis-{2-meth-oxy-6-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)iminiometh-yl]phenolato-κO,O'}tris-(nitrato-κO,O')cerium(III).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of title compound, [Ce(NO(3))(3)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(2)(CH(3)OH)], consists of two Schiff base 2-meth-oxy-6-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)iminiometh-yl]phenolate (HL) ligands, three nitrate anions and a methanol ligand. The Ce(III) ion is 11-coordinated: three nitrate radical anions coordinate to the Ce(III) ion through O atoms, two HL ligands chelate the Ce(III) ion through the O atoms of the phenolate and meth-oxy groups, and one methanol mol-ecule coordinates to Ce(III) 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 intra-molecular hydrogen bonds with the phenoxide groups. C-H⋯O inter-actions are also observed.
