Aqua-{4,4'-dibromo-6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}copper(II).

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Cu(C(18)H(16)Br(2)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)], lies on a crystallographic mirror plane with the Cu(II) ion coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms of a tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and one O atom from a water ligand in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment. The mirror plane, which coincides with the Cu-O(water) bond, imposes disorder of the atoms of the ethyl-ene group. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link complex mol-ecules into extended chains along [100].
