{6,6'-Dibromo-4,4'-dichloro-2,2'-[o-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}nickel(II)

In the title complex, [Ni(C(20)H(10)Br(2)Cl(2)N(2)O(2))], the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two phen-oxy O atoms and two imino N atoms of the tetradentate ligand, forming a slightly distorted square-planar environment. The mol-ecule is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.088 Å for the mean plane defined by all non-H atoms in the mol-ecule.
