The title compound, a homotrinuclear NiII complex has been synthesized from ONNO type Schiff base reduced with the help of NaBH4. The structure of the complex, [Ni{Ni(CH3CO2) (C17TH20N2O2) (C3H7NO)}2], was identified using elemental analysis, thermal analysis, IR spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques. It was established that although some bond lengths and angles changed with respect to previous complexes, the Ni...NJ distance was approximately the same.
