Abstract: The title compound, [Ni(C₁₇H₁₄N₃O₂)₂]·2C₃H₇NO·2H₂O, contains Ni^II cations (site symmetry ) chelated by two deprotonated Schiff bases in a trans-NiN₂O₂ square-planar geometry. The complex molecule and the dimethylformamide (DMF) and water molecules interact by way of O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds, resulting in a layered structure.
