(4′-All­yloxy-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ(3) N,N′,N′′)(dibenzoyl­methanido-κ(2) O,O′)bis­(nitrato-κ(2) O,O′)neodymium(III) acetonitrile solvate

The title complex, [Nd(C(15)H(11)O(2))(NO(3))(2)(C(18)H(15)N(3)O)]·CH(3)CN or [Nd(altpy)(dbm)(NO(3))(2)]·CH(3)CN (altpy = 4′-all­yl­oxy-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, dbm = dibenzoyl­methanide anion), has been synthesized from 4′-all­yloxy-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, dibenzoyl­methanate and neodymium nitrate. The Nd(3+) atom is nine-coordinated by two O atoms from the bidentate dbm ligand, three N atoms from the tridentate altpy ligand and four O atoms from two nitrate anions that act as bidentate ligands and occupy mutually trans sites in a distorted monocapped square-anti­prismatic geometry.
