title: Bis(2,4-dibromo-6-formyl-phenolato-κO,O')copper(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(7)H(3)Br(2)O(2))(2)], the Cu(II) atom, which lies on an inversion centre, is coordinated by four O atoms from two chelating bidentate 2,4-dibromo-6-formyl-phenolate ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, short inter-molecular 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.
