Bis(3-hydroxy­phenyl­acetato-κ(2) O,O′)bis­(1H-imidazole-κN (3))nickel(II)

In the title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C(8)H(7)O(3))(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)], the Ni(II) atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four carboxyl­ate O atoms from two bidentate 3-hydroxy­phenylacetato ligands and two N atoms from two imidazole mol­ecules in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. A three-dimensional network is formed via inter­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between the imidazole and benzene rings of neighboring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.856 (2) Å].
