In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear nickel complex, [Ni(2)(C(22)H(30)N(4)O(2))(NO(3))(2)], each of the two Ni(II) atoms has a distorted octa-hedral geometry, defined by two N atoms and two O atoms from the macrocyclic ligand and two O atoms from a chelating nitrate anion. The two Ni atoms are bridged by two phenolate O atoms, forming a four-membered Ni(2)O(2) ring.
