{μ-6,6′-Dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}-μ-nitrato-dinitratoeuropium(III)zinc(II)

In the title heteronuclear Zn(II)–Eu(III) complex [systematic name: {6,6′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato-κ(4) O (1),O (1′),O (6),O (6′):2κ(4) O (1),N,N′,O (1′)}-μ-nitrato-1:2κ(2) O:O′-dini­trato-1κ(4) O,O′-europium(III)zinc(II)], [EuZn(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)], with the hexa­dentate Schiff base compartmental ligand N,N′-bis­(3-methoxy­salicyl­idene)ethyl­enediamine (H(2) L), the Eu and Zn atoms are triply bridged by two phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and one nitrate ion. The five-coordinate Zn atom is in a square-pyramidal geometry with the donor centers of two imine N atoms, two phenolate O atoms and one of the bridging nitrate O atoms. The Eu(III) center has a ninefold coordination environment of O atoms, involving the phenol­ate O atoms, two meth­oxy O atoms, two O atoms from two nitrate ions and one from the bridging nitrate ion. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions generate a two-dimensional double-layer structure.
