Abstract: The title complex, [Cu(C₁₈H₁₆Br₂N₂O₄)(H₂O)], lies on a crystallographic mirror plane with the Cu^II ion coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms of a tetradentate Schiff base ligand and one O atom from a water ligand in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment. The mirror plane, which coincides with the Cu-O_water bond, imposes disorder of the atoms of the ethylene group. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds link complex molecules into extended chains along [100].
