ABSTRACT: 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)°. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol-ecules into a chain along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by two inter-molecular π-π inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.7252 (13) and 3.8323 (13) Å.
