The macrocycle folds around one NiII atom, which is five-coordinated in an NiN5 square-pyramidal geometry. The other NiII atom is surrounded by the cyanide ions in an NiN4 square-planar geometry. The dimethylformamide solvent molecule is disordered over two positions in a 0.62 (1):0.38 (1) ratio and the water molecule is disordered about a center of inversion. The dinuclear molecule and solvent molecules are linked by N¡ªH...O, N¨CH...N and O¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536810042625
