Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₈H₁₂Br₂N₃O)(C₁₀H₈N₂)]BF₄, the Cu atom is pentacoordinated by three atoms, viz. N, N and O of the tridentate 2-[2-(1H-1,3-benzimidazol-2-yl)ethyliminomethyl]-2,4-dibromophenolate ligand and two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The Cu coordination geometry is highly distorted trigonal bipyramidal, with Cu-O and Cu-N bond lengths of 1.916 (3) and 1.954 (4)-2.212 (4) Å, respectively. The axial positions are occupied by two N atoms which form an N-Cu-N angle of 170.29 (16)°.
