Abstract: In the title compound, [Ni(C₁₆H₁₀N₃O₃)₂(C₅H₅N)₂], the Ni^II cation is in a distorted octahedral NiN₄O₂ coordination by two independent bidentate 1-[(4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphtholate anions and two pyridine ligands. C-HO interactions between aromatic rings and the O atoms of the nitro substituents build up a two-dimensional supramolecular arrangement parallel to (100).
