Acetone [μ-N,N′-bis(3-methoxy-2-oxido-benzylidene)-1,2-propanediamine]-trinitratocopper(II) praseodymium (III)

In the title complex (systematic name: (acetone-2 kappa O){6,6 '-dimethoxy-2,2 '- [propane -1,2-diylbis (nitrilomethylidyne)] diphenolato-1 kappa O-4(1),O-1 ',O-6,O-6 ' : 2 kappa(4) O-1,N,N ', O-1 '} trinitrato- 1 kappa(6) O,O '-copper(II)praseodymium(III)), [CuPr(C19H20N2O4)-(NO3)(3)(C3H6O)], the Cu-II ion is five-coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of the deprotonated Schiff base and by the acetone, giving rise to a square-pyramidal geometry, whereas the Pr-III ion is ten-coordinated by six nitrate O atoms and four O atoms of the deprotonated Schiff base. The C atoms, with attached H atoms, of the diaminopropane link are disordered over two positions with site occupancy factors of ca 0.7 and 0.3.
