Bis(2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoato-κ(2) O (1) ,O (1′))(nitrato-κ(2) O,O′)bis­(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′)europium(III)

The title mononuclear complex, [Eu(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)(NO(3))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], is isostructural with those of other lanthanides. The Eu atom is in a pseudo-bicapped square-anti­prismatic geometry, formed by four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and by six O atoms, four from two 2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoate (DHB) ligands and the other two from a nitrate anion. π–π stacking inter­actions between phen and DHB ligands [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5312 (19) and 3.8347 (16) Å], and between phen and phen ligands [face-to-face separation = 3.433 (4) Å] of adjacent complexes stabilize the crystal structure. Intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the DHB ligands.
