title: Crystal structure of di-bromido-(N,N-di-methyl-formamide-κO){2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-N-[(quinolin-2-yl-κN)methyl-idene]ethanamine-κN}cadmium.
abstract: In the mononuclear title complex, [CdBr2(C20H17N3)(C3H7NO)], synthesized from the quinoline-derived Schiff base 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-N-(quinolin-2-yl-methyl-ene)ethan-amine (IQME), the coordination geometry around the Cd(2+) atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal, the axial positions being occupied by the quinoline N atom [Cd-N = 2.401 (3) Å] and one di-methyl-formamide O-atom donor [Cd-O = 2.399 (2) Å]. The equatorial plane is formed by the imine N atom [Cd-N = 2.293 (3) Å] and two bromides [Cd-Br = 2.5621 (8) and 2.5676 (8) Å], with the deviation of the Cd(II) atom from the equatorial plane being 0.046 (1) Å. An intra-molecular C-H⋯Br inter-action occurs. In the crystal, N-H⋯Br inter-actions generate [101] chains.
