Abstract
In the title complex, [CuEr(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)]·CH(3)COCH(3), the Cu(II) ion is coordinated in a square-planar environment by two O atoms and two N atoms of a Schiff base ligand. The Er(III) ion is bis-chelated by three nitrate ligands and coordinated by four O atoms of the Schiff base ligand in a slightly distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic environment.
