{2,2'-[o-Phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}nickel(II) monohydrate.
The Ni(II) atom in the title monohydrate, [Ni(C(20)H(14)N(2)O(2))]·H(2)O, is coordinated within a cis-N(2)O(2) square-planar donor set provided by the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand. Overall, the mol-ecule has a curved shape with the dihedral angle formed between the planes of the outer benzene rings being 13.92 (18)°. The water mol-ecule was found to be disordered over two positions [ratio 0.80 (1):0.20 (1)] and the major component is linked to the complex via an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond.
