Abstract: In the title compound, 6,6'-bis(methoxymethyl)-4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-[1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol, [Ni(C₃₄H₃₄N₂O₄)], there are two independent molecules per asymmetric unit; both have a twofold axis. These molecular structures are two rotamers in the presence of steric repulsions between the ether groups, and the coordination geometry around the Ni^II atom is slightly tetrahedrally distorted square planar. The rotamers are stacked alternately along the c axis.
