The NiII atom in the title monohydrate, [Ni(C20H14N2O2)]·H2O, is coordinated within a cis-N2O2 square-planar donor set provided by the tetradentate Schiff base ligand. Overall, the molecule has a curved shape with the dihedral angle formed between the planes of the outer benzene rings being 13.92 (18)°. The water molecule was found to be disordered over two positions [ratio 0.80 (1):0.20 (1)] and the major component is linked to the complex via an O—H...O hydrogen bond.
