title: Bis{1-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]-2-naphtho-lato-κN,O}nickel(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Ni(C(18)H(14)NO)(2)], the Ni(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment. The 1-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]-2-naphtho-late ligands are coordinated in a trans arrangement with respect to the N and O atoms. In the symmetry-unique ligand, the dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring of the methyl-phenyl group is 49.03 (7)°.
