Acetato­(N-[(E)-1-(6-methyl-2-pyrid­yl)methyl­idene]-2-{2-[(E)-1-(6-methyl-2-pyrid­yl)methyl­idene­amino]­pheneth­yl}aniline)nickel(II) perchlorate

In the title complex, [Ni(CH(3)COO)(C(28)H(26)N(4))]ClO(4), the Ni(II) atom is coordinated by two imine N atoms and two pyridine N atoms of the N-[(E)-1-(6-methyl-2-pyrid­yl)methyl­idene]-2-(2-[(E)-1-(6-methyl-2-pyrid­yl)methyl­idene­amino]­pheneth­yl)aniline donor ligand and two O atoms of the acetate ion in a distorted octa­hedral coordination. The average Ni—N and Ni—O bond lengths are 2.131 (13) and 2.098 (11) Å, respectively. An intramolecular N—H⋯O inter­action occurs. Relatively weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions between the ligands and the ClO(4) (−) ions result in a chain extending along the b axis.
