{4,4′-Dichloro-2,2′-[2,2-dimethyl­propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilo­methanyl­ylidene)]diphenolato-κ(4) O,N,N′,O′}nickel(II)

In the title compound, [Ni(C(19)H(18)Cl(2)N(2)O(2))], the Ni(II) atom shows a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the coordination rings is 9.15 (12)° while the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two aromatic rings is 3.48 (16)°. In the crystal, pairs of inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol­ecules into a chain along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.883 (2) Å].
