title: {μ-6,6'-Dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]di-phenolato}dimethano-ltrinitrato-samarium(III)zinc(II) methanol disolvate.
abstract: In the title complex, [SmZn(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)(CH(3)OH)(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the Zn(II) ion is six-coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of the deprotonated Schiff base ligand and by two O atoms from methanol mol-ecules, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Sm(III) ion is coordinated by six O atoms from three chelating nitrate ligands and four O atoms from the Schiff base ligand, forming a distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic environment. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the complex mol-ecules and the two methanol solvent mol-ecules, forming (10[Formula: see text]) sheets.
