{4,4'-Dibromo-2,2'-[2,2-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cu(C(19)H(18)Br(2)N(2)O(2))], the Cu(II) ion is in a tetra-hedrally distorted planar geometry, involving two N and two O atoms from the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form an eight-membered R(2) (2)(8) motif. The dihedral angle betwen two benzene rings is 36.34 (9)°. There are inter-molecular Cu⋯Br [3.4566 (5) Å] and Cu⋯·N [3.569 (3) Å] contacts, which are significantly shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of the relevant atoms. These inter-actions, along with the inter-molecular C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-centroid distances of 3.709 (1) and 3.968 (2) Å] inter-actions, link neighbouring mol-ecules into a one-dimensional infinite chain along the c axis.
