{2,2'-[4,5-Dibromo-o-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-dimethyl-idyne)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}(methanol-κO)copper(II).

In the title compound, [Cu(C(20)H(12)Br(2)N(2)O(2))(CH(3)OH)], the Cu(II) ion, and the C, O and hydr-oxy H atoms of the coordinated methanol mol-ecule are located on a twofold rotation axis, while the methyl H atoms are disordered over two sites about the rotation axis. The Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Cu-N = 1.960 (4) Å] and two O atoms [Cu-O = 1.908 (4) Å] from the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and by one O atom [Cu-O = 2.324 (6) Å] of the methanol molecule in a square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link complex mol-ecules into extended chains along [001].
