title: Bis{2-bromo-4-chloro-6-[(E)-(2,6-di-methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato-κ(2) N,O}cobalt(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Co(C15H12BrClNO)2], the Co(II) ion is coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 2-bromo-4-chloro-6-[(E)-(2,6-dimethyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolate ligands, generating a squashed CoN2O2 tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The dihedral angles between the aromatic rings in the ligands are 82.60 (14) and 71.79 (14)°. The complex has approximate local noncrystallographic twofold symmetry. In the crystal, weak aromatic π-π stacking is observed [centroid-centroid separation = 3.6434 (18) Å].
