title: Aqua{5,5'-dimethoxy-2,2-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}nickel(II).
abstract: The title mononuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)], possesses crystallographic mirror symmetry. The Ni atom is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry, with two imine N and two phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand in the square plane, and the water O atom in the axial position. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a axis.
