Abstract: In the crystal structure of the dinuclear title compound, [CuZnBr₂(C₁₉H₂₂N₂O₂)(C₅H₁₁N)], the Cu^II ion has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination involving two iminic N and two phenolic O atoms of the N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-2,2'-dimethyl-1,3-propanediaminate (SALPD^2- or C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂^2-) ligand and one N atom of the piperidine group. The coordination around the Zn^II ion is distorted tetrahedral, with two O atoms of the SALPD^2- ligand and two bromide ions. The Zn-Br bond lengths are 2.3309  (9) and 2.3508  (10)  Å. The CuZn distance is 3.0800  (9)  Å.
