Tris{2-methoxy-6-[(4-methylphenyl)iminiomethyl]phenolato-²O,O'}tris(thiocyanato-N)praseodymium(III) monohydrate

J.-F. Liu, J.-L. Liu and G.-L. Zhao

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of title compound, [Pr(NCS)₃(C₁₅H₁₅NO₂)₃]·H₂O, consists of three Schiff base 2-methoxy-6-[(4-methylphenyl)iminomethyl]phenol (HL) ligands, three independent thiocyanate anions and an uncoordinated water molecule. The Pr^III ion is nine-coordinated. The thiocyanate anions coordinate to the Pr^III ion via the N atoms and the three HL ligands chelate the Pr^III ion via the phenoxy and methoxy O atoms. The protonated imine N atoms are involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the phenolate groups.
