Abstract: In the crystals structure of the title compound, [ZnNiBr₂(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(C₃H₇NO)(CH₄O)], there is a heterodinuclear nickel(II)-zinc(II) complex molecule, with the Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions bridged by the phenolic O atoms of the Schiff base N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-2,2'-dimethyl-1,3-propanediaminate (SALPD^2-, C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂) ligand. The coordination geometry around the Ni²⁺ ion is irregular octahedral, involving two O and two N donors of the SALPD^2- ligand in the equatorial plane, and O atoms of dimethylformamide and methanol in the apical positions. The Zn²⁺ ion has a distorted tetrahedral coordination.
