The tetranuclear title complex, [Ni4(C14H11NO2)4(CH3OH)4]·0.8CH3OH, has a distorted cubane topology shaped by four Schiff base ligands. The cubane [Ni4(μ3-O4)] core is formedviathe O atoms from the Schiff base ligands. The octahedrally coordinated NiIIions occupy alternating vertices of the cube. Each NiIIion is coordinated by oneO,N,O′-tridentate dianionic ligand, two O atoms of oxidophenyl groups from adjacent ligands and the O atom of a coordinating methanol molecule. The cubane core is stabilizedviaan intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond between the hydroxy group of the coordinating methanol molecules and the phenolate O atom of the aldehyde Schiff base fragment.
