ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [NiSm(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)(CH(4)O)(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of a deprotonated Schiff base ligand and by two O atoms of two methanol ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Sm(III) ion is coordinated by six O atoms from three chelating nitrate ligands and four O atoms from a Schiff base ligand in a distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic environment. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect complex mol-ecules and methanol solvent mol-ecules, forming (10) sheets.
