The title compound, [Ni(C11H10N2O2)2](NO3)2, consists of an NiII atom coordinated by two tridentate chelating di-2-pyridylmethanediol [(2-py)2C(OH)2] ligands. The NiII atom is located on an inversion center. The geometry around the NiII atom is distorted octahedral. The gem-diol (2-py)2C(OH)2 ligand adopts the coordination mode [eta]1:[eta]1:[eta]1. The Ni-N and Ni-O bond lengths are typical for high-spin NiII in an octahedral environment [Ni-N = 2.094 (2) and 2.124 (3) Å, and Ni-O = 2.108 (3) Å]. One of the hydroxy H atoms is split over two positions which both interact with the nitrate anion. The occurence of different O-H...O hydrogen bonds leads to the formation of a layer parallel to the (101) plane.
