In the title compound, N,N'-Bis(salicylidene)-2-methyl-1,2-propanediaminato-nickel(II), [NiC₁₈H₁₈N₂O₂], (CCDC 235278), the Ni^II atom is coordinated by two iminic N and two phenolic O atoms of the N,N'-Bis(salicylidene)-2-methyl-1,2-propanediaminate (SALPD^2-) ligand. The geometry of the coordination sphere around the Ni atom is distorted square-planar. Ni(II) ion, forms crystals which belong to the orthorhombic system, space group P cab, with unit cell dimensions a=11.5531(1), b=15.985(4), c=17.418(1) Å, V=3210.5(9) Å³. The cell contains eight molecules. The contact distance Ni...Ni^a between the neighbouring molecules is 4.4704(8) Å.
