Would we not get #[{H_3C(CH_2)_7CH=CH(CH_2)_7O_2}_2Ni]#?

Explanation:

And this might have some solubility in ethanol....whereas the other product of reaction, sodium chloride, is quite insoluble....

#2H_3C(CH_2)_7CH=CH(CH_2)_7O_2^(-)Na^+ +NiCl_2(aq) stackrel(EtOH"/"H_2O)rarr[{H_3C(CH_2)_7CH=CH(CH_2)_7O_2}_2Ni]+2NaCl(s)#.
