Abstract: In the title compound, C₄₆H₂₈Br₄CuN₄O₂ or [Cu(L)₂(phen)] {L = 2,4-dibromo-6-[(naphthalen-1-ylimino)methyl]phenolate, C₁₇H₁₀Br₂NO; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, C₁₂H₈N₂}, the central Cu^II, which lies on a twofold axis, binds two N and two O atoms from the two Schiff base ligands and two N atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline in a distorted octahedral arrangement. In the crystal structure, C-HBr hydrogen bonds link the molecules into rows along c.
