cis-Bis{(E)-2-[(2-fluoro-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato-κ(2) N,O}bis-(pyridine-κN)nickel(II).

The structure of the title compound, [Ni(C13H9FNO)2(C5H5N)2], consists of an Ni(II) atom on a crystallographic center of symmetry, octa-hedrally bonded through both the N and O atoms to two 2-[(2-fluoro-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolate (L) ligands, as well as two pyridine ligands. The F atoms of L are disordered over two positions related by a 180° rotation of the fluoro-phenyl group around its external C-N bond.
