Trichlorido{mu-6,6 '-dimethoxy-2,2 '-[cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato}dimethanolcopper(II)samarium(III)

In the title hetero-dinuclear complex, [CuSm(C22H24N2O4)-Cl-3(CH3OH)(2)], the Cu-II cation is N,N',O,O'-chelated by a 6,6'-dimethoxy-2,2'-[cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)] diphenolate ligand, and one Cl- anion further coordinates to the Cu-II cation to complete the distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry, while the Sm-III cation is chelated by four O atoms from the same ligand, and is further coordinated by two methanol molecules and two Cl- anions in an bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. Intra- and intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds are present in the structure.
