The title compound, a homotrinuclear Ni-II complex has been synthesized from ONNO type Schiff base reduced with the help of NaBH4. The structure of the complex, [Ni{Ni(CH3CO2) (C17H20N2O3) (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...Ni distance was approximately the same.
