title: Bis[3-dimethyl-amino-1-(pyridin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one-κN,O]tris-(nitrato-κO,O)gadolinium(III) ethanol disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Gd(NO(3))(3)(C(10)H(12)N(2)O)(2)]·2C(2)H(5)OH, the Gd(III) ion and one nitrate anion are located on a twofold rotation axis. The Gd(III) ion is ten-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two bidentate 3-(N,N-dimethyl-amino)-1-(2-pyrid-yl)prop-2-en-1-one) ligands and six O atoms from three nitrate anions in a distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic geometry. In the crystal, the components are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The ethanol solvent mol-ecule is disordered over two positions in a ratio 0.615 (16):0.385 (16).
