title: Bis({1-[(1-imino-eth-yl)imino]-eth-yl}aza-nido-κ(2) N (1),N (5))nickel(II) methanol monosolvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Ni(C4H8N3)2]·CH3OH, contains two independent Ni(II) atoms, each located on an inversion center and coordinated by four N atoms from two 1-[(1-imino-eth-yl)imino]-eth-yl}aza-nide ligands in a square-planar geometry. N-H⋯N, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the complex mol-ecules and methanol solvent mol-ecules into a corrugated layer parallel to (001).
