The title compound, [Ni(C9H9O3)2], was synthesized by the reaction of 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde with nickel(II) nitrate in methanol solution. The asymmetric unit onsists of two half-molecules; each Ni atom lies on a centre of symmetry. The NiII ions are coordinated by four O atoms from two deprotonated 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment.
