Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C₃H₆NO₃)₂]_n, the Ni^II atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. In the basal plane, the Ni atom is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms of the amino acid ligands. The apical position is occupied by a propionate O atom of one of the the amino acid ligands, forming chains extending in the b direction.
