Bis(2,4-dibromo-6-formylphenolato-κ2O,O′)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C7H3Br2O2)2], the CuII atom, which lies on an inversion centre, is coordinated by four O atoms from two chelating bidentate 2,4-dibromo-6-formylphenolate ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, short intermolecular Br...Br [3.516 (4) and 3.653 (4) Å] and Cu...Br [3.255 (1) Å] contacts together with C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network.
