Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₇H₃Br₂O₂)₂], the Cu^II atom, which lies on an inversion centre, is coordinated by four O atoms from two chelating bidentate 2,4-dibromo-6-formylphenolate ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, short intermolecular BrBr [3.516 (4) and 3.653 (4) Å] and CuBr [3.255 (1) Å] contacts together with C-HO hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network.
