Abstract
The title compound, [Ni(C13H20N2O2)2(H2O)2](NO3)2·2H2O, consists of a mononuclear nickel(II) complex, two nitrate anions and two solvent water molecules. The Ni atom lies on an inversion centre and is chelated by the phenolic O and imine N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and coordinated by the O atoms from two water molecules, giving a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Within the crystal structure, the components form chains parallel to the a axis by intermolecular N—H...O, O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds.
