Abstract: The title compound, [Fe₂Ni(C₅H₅)₂(C₂₀H₂₀N₂O₂)]·CH₂Cl₂, is a four-coordinate square-planar nickel(II) complex with a tetradentate 1,1'-diferrocenyl-3,3'-(ethane-1,2-diyldinitrilo)dibutanolate ligand, which crystallizes with a molecule of dichloromethane. The ferrocene substituents are arranged in a syn conformation with respect to the Ni coordination plane. The complexes stack in an alternating assembly with channels occupied by the solvent molecules.
