The Ni(II) complex with ligand 2-N-(2-hydroxy-benzylidene) furanmethano-amine has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a=2.0280(4), b=0.57700(12), c=1.7340(4) nm, β=94.74(3)°, Z=4, Dc=1.508g/cm3, the final R=0.0434 and wR=0.1112 for 1843 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). X-ray analysis revealed that the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of Schiff base and two oxygen atoms of salicylaldehyde in the equatorial plane, and the coordination geometry can be described as a square.
