(Dimethyl-formamide-κO){4,4',6,6'-tetra-bromo-2,2'-[o-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}copper(II) dimethyl-formamide solvate.

In the title compound, [Cu(C(20)H(10)Br(4)N(2)O(2))(C(3)H(7)NO)]·C(3)H(7)NO, the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from a tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and the O atom of one dimethyl-formamide ligand in an almost square-pyramidal geometry. The uncoordinated dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecule is disordered over two sets of positions with occupancies of 0.741 (4) and 0.259 (4). The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O inter-actions.
