The oxidative dehydrogenation of only one CN bond in the [Ni(tetrahydrosalen)] complex 1 surprisingly affords the corresponding [Ni(dihydrosalen)] complex. This reaction is thus a rare example of the activation of oxygen by nickel complexes. The Ni atom in 1 has an almost square‐planar coordination geometry, and the two benzene rings are bent slightly upwards and downwards relative to the NiO 2 N 2 plane.
