Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C(9)H(9)BrNO(2))(2)], is a centrosymmetric mononuclear copper(II) complex. The Cu atom is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN(2)O(2) square-planar geometry by two phenolate O and two oxime N atoms from two symmetry-related N,O-bidentate (E)-4-bromo-2-(ethoxy-imino-meth-yl)phenolate oxime-type ligands. An inter-esting feature of the crystal structure is the centrosymmetric inter-molecular Cu⋯O inter-action [3.382 (1) Å], which establishes an infinite chain structure along the b axis.
