The title compound, 3-tetramethylcyclopentyl]propane-1,3-dionato-O,O'}
nickel(II), [Ni(C21H35O2)(2)], displays interesting stereochemical as
pects due to the meso configuration of the 1.3-bis(1,2, 2, 3-tetrameth
ylcyclopentyl)-1,3-propanedionate ligands. The Ni atom lies on an inve
rsion centre, with Ni-O distances of 1.842(2) and 1.826(2) Angstrom.
