Abstract

The title nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C13H12NO2)2], has been synthesized by the reaction of a Schiff base ligand derived from 2-hydr­oxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 2-ethano­lamine with Ni(CH3COO)2·4H2O. The asymmetric unit consists of half each of two independent mol­ecules which have similar geometries, with the Ni atom of each of the two neutral complex mol­ecules lying on an inversion centre. The coordination geometry around each Ni atom is square planar, with the two bidentate chelate Schiff base ligands coordinated through their imine N and phenol O atoms in a mutually trans configuration. The hydroxy O atoms do not coordinate to the Ni atom.
