The tetranuclear cubane‐like complex, [NiL(EtOH)] 4 ·0.5EtOH ( 1) with tridentate Schiff base ligand (H 2 L=2‐Hydroxymethyl‐ N ‐salicylideneaniline) has been synthesized and its crystal structure and spectroscopic properties have been studied. The complex consists of a tetranuclear (NiO) 4 cubane core, of which four nickel(II) ions are bridged by μ 3 ‐alkoxide group and each nickel(II) ion is coordinated to three μ 3 ‐alkoxide oxygen atoms, one imino nitrogen atom and one phenoxide oxygen atom from Schiff base ligand, and further ligated by one EtOH molecule, completing a distorted octahedral geometry.
