ABSTRACT: In the title Schiff base complex, [Ni(C(24)H(22)N(2)O(4))], the Ni(II) atom has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the two outer rings are 7.62 (16) and 9.78 (17)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.8218 (19) Å.
