Bis[2-(benzyliminomethyl)-4-chlorophenolato-κ2N,O]nickel(II)

In the mononuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Ni(C14H11ClNO)2], the NiII atom, lying on a center of symmetry, is four-coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, forming a slightly distorted square-planar environment. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of the ligand is 72.0 (2)°. No significant hydrogen bonding or π–π stacking interactions are observed
