In the title compound, [Cu(C13H20N3O)Br], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by three N atoms and one O atom from the deprotonated ligand derived from the Schiff base condensation of 3,3-iminobis(propylamine) and salicylaldehyde. The three N and the O atoms occupy equatorial positions, while the Br atom occupies an axial position. The amine H atoms form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the Br and O atoms of adjoining molecules
