In the title complex, [Ni(C(22)H(16)Br(2)N(2)O(4))], the Ni(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms of a tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand, forming a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. The dihedral angle between the two bromo-substituted benzene rings is 10.1 (3)°.
