μ-Acetato-diacetato{μ-6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[o-phenylenebis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato}gadolinium(III)zinc

Abstract

In the heterodinuclear title complex, [GdZn(C22H18N2O4)(CH3COO)3], the ZnII ion is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal environment defined by two O atoms and two N atoms from the ligand, forming the square plane, and one acetate O atom serving as the apex, while the GdIII ion is nine-coordinated in an approximate mono-capped tetragonal–antiprismatic environment defined by four O atoms from the ligand and five acetate O atoms.
