A salen-type trinuclear Zn₂Gd complex

In the trinuclear title complex, di-μ-acetato-1:2κ²O:O′;2:3κ²O:O′-bis­{μ-6,6′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[cyclo­hexane-1,2-diylbis(methanylyl­idene)]diphenolato}-1:2κ⁶O¹,N,N′,O^1′:O⁶,O^6′;2:3κ⁶O⁶,O^6′:O¹,N,N′,O^1′-2-gadolinium(III)-1,3-dizinc hexa­fluor­idophosphate methanol monosolvate monohydrate, [GdZn₂(C₂₂H₂₄N₂O₄)₂(CH₃COO)₂]PF₆·CH₃OH·H₂O, the two Zn^II ions are located in the inner N₂O₂ cavities of two 6,6′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[cyclo­hexane-1,2-diylbis(methanylyl­idene)]diphenolate (L) ligands. Both Zn^II ions are five-coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from the L ligand and one O atom of an acetic acid mol­ecule, giving rise to a square-pyramidal geometry around the Zn^II ions. The Gd^III ion is nine-coordinated by four O atoms from the outer O₂O₂ sites of one ligand, and three O atoms from another ligand, in which there is one non-coordinating meth­oxy O atom. Two further O atom from different acetate ligands complete the nine-coordinate environment.
