Abstract: The title tetranuclear nickel(II) compound, [Ni₄(C₁₅H₁₆N₂O₂)₄], is isostructural with the zinc(II) complex reported recently [You, Ma, Zhu & Liu (2004). Acta Cryst. E60, m1599-m1601]. The complex has ${\overline 4}$ crystallographic symmetry. Each Ni^II atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the basal plane, the Ni atom is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms of a Schiff base. The apical position is occupied by another O atom of another Schiff base.
