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

In the title heteronuclear Zn(II)—Tb(III) complex (systematic name: {6,6′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­id­yne)]diphenolato-1κ(4) O (6),O (1),O (1′),O (6′)}:2κ(4) O (1),N,N′,O (1′)-μ-nitrato-1:2κ(2) O:O′-dinitrato-1κ(4) O,O′-terbium(III)zinc(II)), [TbZn(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 Tb 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 Tb(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 layer structure.
