Aqua­{6,6′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}nickel(II)

The title complex, [Ni(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)], lies on a mirror plane with the Ni(II) ion coordinated by two N and two O atoms of a tetra­dentate Schiff base ligand and one water O atom in a distorted square-pyramidal enviroment. The –CH(2)–CH(2)– group of the ligand is disordered equally over two sites about the mirror plane. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two symmetry-related chelate rings is 37.16 (6)°. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link complex mol­ecules into one-dimensional chains along [100] and these chains are linked, in turn, by very weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional network.
