2-Benzyl-imino-meth-yl-6-bromo-4-chloro-phenol.

The title mol-ecule, C(14)H(11)BrClNO, adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 70.4 (5)°. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed between the hydroxyl and imine groups.

Bis[2-(benzyl-imino-meth-yl)-4-chloro-phenolato-κN,O]nickel(II).

In the mononuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Ni(C(14)H(11)ClNO)(2)], the Ni(II) atom, lying on a center of symmetry, is four-coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, forming a slightly distorted square-planar environment. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of the ligand is 72.0 (2)°. No significant hydrogen bonding or π-π stacking inter-actions are observed.
