Abstract: The title mononuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C₁₈H₁₈N₂O₄)(H₂O)], possesses crystallographic mirror symmetry. The Ni atom is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry, with two imine N and two phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand in the square plane, and the water O atom in the axial position. In the crystal, the molecules are linked via intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a axis.
