Abstract

In the title compound, [CuBr(2)(C(8)H(22)N(4))], the Cu(II) atom is six-coordinate forming a distorted octa-hedral complex and is bonded to two axial bromide anions and four equatorial nitro-gen donors. The equatorial Cu-N bond distances range from 2.005 (8) to 2.046 (8) Å while the axial Cu-Br distances are 2.8616 (17) and 2.9402 (17) Å, thus the six-coordinate Cu complex shows the usual Jahn-Teller distortion. All amine hydrogen atoms participate in either inter- or intra-molecular hydrogen bonding to the Br anions.
