Abstract

In the title compound, [La(NCS)(3)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(3)], the metal centre is nine-coordinated by six O atoms from three zwitterionic Schiff base 2-meth-oxy-6-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)iminio-meth-yl]phenolate (L) ligands and three terminal N atoms of the thio-cyanate ions in a monocapped square-anti-prismatic environment. The L ligands chelate the La(III) ion with strong La-O(deprotonated phenolic) bonds [2.435 (3)-2.464 (3) Å] and significantly longer La-O(meth-oxy) bonds [2.801 (3)-2.831 (3) Å]. The La-N bond lengths range from 2.541 (4) to 2.605 (4) Å.
