title: Bis[μ(2)-N'-acetyl-2-hydroxy-6-oxido-benzohydrazidato(3-)]octa-pyridine-trinickel(II).
abstract: The title trinuclear complex, [Ni(3)(C(9)H(7)N(2)O(4))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(8)], possesses a crystallographically imposed center of symmetry occupied by one Ni(II) ion. Each of the three Ni(II) ions is coordinated by two O and four N atoms, respectively, in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules into ribbons propagating in the [100] direction.
