Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 100 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; disorder in main residue; R factor = 0.047; wR factor = 0.114; data-to-parameter ratio = 17.8.In the title compound, [Ni(C 15 H 13 FNO 2 ) 2 ], the Ni II atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two 2-[(4-fluorobenzyl)iminomethyl]-6-methoxyphenolate ligands in a square-planar geometry. The two N atoms and two O atoms around the Ni II atom are trans to each other, as the Ni II atom lies on an inversion centre. In the fluorophenyl group, five C atoms and an F atom are disordered over two sets of positions of equal occupancy. In the crystal, the complex molecules are linked via intermolecular C-HÁ Á ÁF hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001].
