Abstract: The title complex, [Ni₂(C₄₂H₄₆Cl₂N₆O₂)(C₂H₃O₂)]ClO₄·2CH₃CN, was synthesized by condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-chlorophenol with N,N-bis(aminopropyl)benzylamine in the presence of Ni^II ions. The ligand is a 28-membered macrocycle with two identical pendant arms. The coordination geometries of the Ni atoms are both octahedral. The two Ni atoms are bridged by two phenolate O atoms of the macrocyclic ligand and one acetate ligand, with an NiNi distance of 3.147 (4) Å.
