title: Bis{2-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolato-κN,O}nickel(II) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate.
abstract: The Ni atom in the title compound, [Ni(C(17)H(15)N(2)O)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, lies on a twofold rotation axis. It is N,O-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base 2-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolate ligand in a square-planar coordination environment. The mol-ecule is linked to a solvent mol-ecule by an indole-dimethyl-formamide N-H⋯O hydrogen bond.
