Tris(2-{[2-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)eth-yl]imino-meth-yl}phenolato-κ(2)N,O(1))cobalt(III).
In the title compound, [Co(C(16)H(16)NO(2))(3)], the Co(III) atom is six-coordinated in an irregular octa-hedral geometry by three N,O-chelating 2-{[2-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)eth-yl]imino-meth-yl}phenolate groups. One of the three meth-oxy group is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.768 (5):0.232 (5). The crystal packing can be described by alternating zigzag layers of organic ligands and CoN(3)O(3) octa-hedra along the c axis. There are no classical hydrogen bonds in the structure, but C-H⋯π inter-actions occur.
