Dioxido{4,4′,6,6′-tetrabromo-2,2′-[2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato}molyb­denum(VI)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mo(C(19)H(16)Br(4)N(2)O(2))O(2)], comprises two mol­ecules. The coordination environments around the Mo(VI) atoms are distorted octa­hedral, defined by two oxide ligands and an N(2)O(2) donor set of the tetra­dentate Schiff base in each mol­ecule. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings in the mol­ecules are 76.2 (3) and 77.7 (3)°. An inter­esting feature of the crystal structure is the presence of Br⋯Br contacts [3.4407 (11), 3.5430 (11) and 3.6492 (10) Å], which are shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radius of Br atoms (3.70 Å). The crystal structure is further stabilized by inter­molcular C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯π inter­actions. The crystal under investigation was twinned by nonmerohedry in a 0.053 (1):0.947 (1) ratio.
