{N,N '-bis[3-methoxymethyl-5-methylsalicylidene]-(R,R)-1,2-diphenylene-diamino}nickel(II)

In the title compound, 6,6'-bis( methoxymethyl)-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-[ 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)] diphenol, [Ni(C34H34N2O4)], there are two independent molecules per asymmetric unit; both have a twofold axis. These molecular structures are two rotamers in the presence of steric repulsions between the ether groups, and the coordination geometry around the Ni-II atom is slightly tetrahedrally distorted square planar. The rotamers are stacked alternately along the c axis.
