Tris[2-meth-oxy-6-(4-methyl-phenyl-iminio-meth-yl)phenolato-κO,O']tris-(thio-cyanato-κN)neodymium(III).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Nd(NCS)(3)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(3)], the Nd(III) ion is coordinated by three thio-cyanate anions [Nd-N = 2.489 (8)-2.530 (7) Å] and six O atoms [Nd-O = 2.375 (4)-2.843 (5) Å] from three zwitterionic 2-meth-oxy-6-(4-methyl-phenyl-iminiometh-yl)phenolate ligands in a tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, π-π inter-actions with a distance of 3.904 (7) Å between the centroids of the aromatic rings, and voids of 101 Å(3).
