{1,1′-[2,2-Dimethylpropane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]di-2-naphtholato}nickel(II)

In the title Schiff base complex, [Ni(C(27)H(24)N(2)O(2))], the Ni(II) atom shows a slightly distorted square- planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two aromatic rings is 6.16 (6)degrees. In the crystal, pairs of intermolecular weak C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link neighboring molecules into a chain along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by two intermolecular pi-pi interactions with centroid - centroid distances of 3.7252 (13) and 3.8323 (13) angstrom.
