(Methanol-κO)bis­{2-meth­oxy-6-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)iminiometh­yl]phenolato-κ(2) O,O′}tris­(nitrato-κ(2) O,O′)cerium(III)

The asymmetric unit of title compound, [Ce(NO(3))(3)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(2)(CH(3)OH)], consists of two Schiff base 2-meth­oxy-6-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)iminiometh­yl]phenolate (HL) ligands, three nitrate anions and a methanol ligand. The Ce(III) ion is 11-coordinated: three nitrate radical anions coordinate to the Ce(III) ion through O atoms, two HL ligands chelate the Ce(III) ion through the O atoms of the phenolate and meth­oxy groups, and one methanol mol­ecule coordinates to Ce(III) ion through its O atom. The O atom of one nitrate anion is disordered over two sites of equal occupancy. The protonated imine N atoms are involved in intra­molecular hydrogen bonds with the phenoxide groups. C—H⋯O inter­actions are also observed.
