Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C17H12I4N2O2)], comprises half of a Schiff base complex. The NiII and central C atom of the propyl chain are located on a twofold rotation axis. The geometry around the NiII atom is square planar, supported by the N2O2 donor atoms of the coordinated ligand. In the crystal, there are no significant intermolecular interactions present. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a refined twin component ratio of 0.944 (1):0.056 (1).
