{4,4'-Dichloro-2,2'-[2,2-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilo-methanyl-ylidene)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}nickel(II).

In the title compound, [Ni(C(19)H(18)Cl(2)N(2)O(2))], the Ni(II) atom shows a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the coordination rings is 9.15 (12)° while the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two aromatic rings is 3.48 (16)°. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol-ecules into a chain along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.883 (2) Å].
