Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₀Br₂N₂, is a potential bidentate Schiff base ligand. The two benzene rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 30.85 (8)°. An interesting feature of the crystal structure is a weak intermolecular BrBr [3.4752 (4) Å] interaction which is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the Br atoms and links neighbouring molecules into chains along the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular C-H interactions.
