H. Khaledi, H. Mohd Ali and S. W. Ng

Abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C₁₇H₁₄N₃S₂)₂]·2C₃H₇NO, the Ni atom (site symmetry ) is N,S-chelated by two deprotonated Schiff base anions in a distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes within the ligand is 86.37 (13)°. In the crystal structure, an N-HO hydrogen bond links the complex to the dimethylformamide solvent molecule.
