(Tris{2-[(5-chloro-2-oxido-benzyl-idene-κO)amino-κN]eth-yl}amine-κN)-ytterbium(III): crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis.

ABSTRACT: The Yb^III atom in the title complex, [Yb(C₂₇H₂₄Cl₃N₄O₃)] [systematic name: (2,2',2''-{(nitrilo)-tris-[ethane-2,1-di-yl(nitrilo)-methylyl-idene]}tris-(4-chloro-phenolato)ytterbium(III)], is coordinated by a trinegative, hepta-dentate ligand and exists within an N₄O₃ donor set, which defines a capped octa-hedral geometry whereby the amine N atom caps the triangular face defined by the three imine N atoms. The packing features supra-molecular layers that stack along the a axis, sustained by a combination of aryl-C-H⋯O, imine-C-H⋯O, methyl-ene-C-H⋯π(ar-yl) and end-on C-Cl⋯π(ar-yl) inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis points to the major contributions of C⋯H/ H⋯C and Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl inter-actions (al
