In the title compound, N,N′-Bis(salicylidene)-2-methyl-1,2- propanediaminato-nickel(II), [NiC18H18N2O 2], (CCDC 235278), the NiII atom is coordinated by two iminic N and two phenolic O atoms of the N,N′-Bis(salicylidene)-2-methyl- 1,2-propanediaminate (SALPD2) ligand. The geometry of the coordination sphere around the Ni atom is distorted square-planar. Ni(II) ion, forms crystals which belong to the orthorhombic system, space group P cab, with unit cell dimensions a=l 1.5531(1), b=15.985(4), c=17.418(1) Å, V=3210.5(9) Å3. The cell contains eight molecules. The contact distance Ni...Nia between the neighbouring molecules is 4.4704(8) Å. © 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
