{2,2'-[(2,2-Dimethyl-propane-1,3-diyl-dinitrilo)-bis-(phenyl-methyl-idyne)]-diphenolato}nickel(II).

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ni(C(31)H(28)N(2)O(2))], comprises two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. The geometry around the Ni(II) atom in each mol-ecule is distorted square planar. The dihedral angles between the two phen-oxy rings in each mol-ecule are 17.8†(4) and 36.5†(4)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.758†(5)†à ] and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
