Bis{2-[(E)-(4-fluoro-benz-yl)imino-meth-yl]-6-meth-oxy-phenolato-κN,O}nickel(II)

In the title compound, [Ni(C(15)H(13)FNO(2))(2)], the Ni(II) atom is tetra-coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two 2-[(4-fluoro-benz-yl)imino-meth-yl]-6-meth-oxy-phenolate ligands in a square-planar geometry. The two N atoms and two O atoms around the Ni(II) atom are trans to each other, as the Ni(II) atom lies on an inversion centre. In the fluoro-phenyl group, five C atoms and an F atom are disordered over two sets of positions of equal occupancy. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are linked via inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001].
