title: Bis{2-[(E)-benzyl-imino-meth-yl]-4-methyl-phenolato-κN,O}nickel(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(C(15)H(14)NO)(2)], the Ni(II) atom is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two O and two N atoms from two symmetry-related bidentate Schiff base ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The phenyl and benzene rings in the ligand mol-ecule form a dihedral angle of 72.79 (8)°.
