Abstract: The Ni atom in the title compound, [Ni(C₁₇H₁₅N₂O)₂]·2C₃H₇NO, lies on a twofold rotation axis. It is N,O-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base 2-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyliminomethyl]phenolate ligand in a square-planar coordination environment. The molecule is linked to a solvent molecule by an indole-dimethylformamide N-HO hydrogen bond.
