{4,4′,6,6′-Tetra­iodo-2,2′-[(2,2-dimethyl­propane-1,3-di­yl)bis­(nitrilo­methanylyl­idene)]diphenolato}nickel(II)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C(19)H(16)I(4)N(2)O(2))], comprises half of a Schiff base complex. The Ni(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis which also bis­ects the central C atom of the 2,2-dimethyl­propane group of the ligand. The geometry around the Ni(II) atom is distorted square-planar, with a dihedral angle of 21.7 (3)° between the symmetry-related N/Ni/O coordination planes. The dihedral angle between the symmetry-related benzene rings is 27.9 (3)°. In the crystal, short inter­molecular I⋯I [3.8178 (9) and 3.9013 (10) Å] inter­actions are present.
