Abstract

The title compound, [Ni(C(5)HF(6)O(2))(2)(C(12)H(9)BrN(2))], the Ni(II) atom exhibits a pseudo-octa-hedral coordination geometry. The structure packs through C-H⋯Br inter-actions, forming a hydrogen-bonded ladder. There are also strong hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between two of the O atoms of the β-diketonate ligands and two H atoms on the pyridine ring of the Schiff base ligand.
