Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₂₀H₁₀Br₄N₂O₂)(C₃H₇NO)]·C₃H₇NO, the Cu^II ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from a tetradentate Schiff base ligand and the O atom of one dimethylformamide ligand in an almost square-pyramidal geometry. The uncoordinated dimethylformamide solvent molecule is disordered over two sets of positions with occupancies of 0.741 (4) and 0.259 (4). The crystal packing is stabilized by C-HO interactions.
