title: Bis[4-(4-bromophenylimino-κN)pent-2-en-2-olato-κO]copper(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(11)H(11)BrNO)(2)], the Cu(II) atom is in a distorted square-planar geometry, with the two bidentate ketimine ligands positioned in a trans geometry. Two inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond inter-actions are present which link the mol-ecules in a zigzag manner along the a axis. The mol-ecules pack in layers along the diagonal of the bc plane.
