Abstract: In the title compound, [Ce(C₁₈H₂₂N₂O₄)₂], the Ce atoms are eight-coordinate and there are three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Two tetradentate N,N'-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)ethane-1,2-diamine ligands are coordinated to each Ce^IV atom. The molecules are linked into a chain by three C-HO hydrogen bonds. Neighbouring chains are connected by van der Waals forces, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
