[Bis(quinolin-2-ylcarbon­yl)amido-κ(3) N,N′,N′′]bromido­(N,N-di­methyl­formamide-κO)copper(II)

In the mononuclear title complex, [CuBr(C(20)H(12)N(3)O(2))(C(3)H(7)NO)], synthesized from the quinoline-derived reduced Schiff base 4-(quinolin-2-ylmeth­yl)amino­phenol, the coordination geometry around Cu(2+) is distorted square-pyramidal, comprising a bromide anion at the apex [Cu—Br = 2.4671 (5) Å]. The base of the pyramid is built up from one di­methyl­formamide O-atom donor [Cu—O = 2.078 (2) Å] and three N-atom donors from the monoanionic, tridentate bis­(quinolin-2-ylcarbon­yl)di­imide ligand [Cu—N(di­imide) = 1.941 (3) Å, and Cu—N(quinol­yl) = 2.060 (3) and 2.049 (3) Å]. An intra­molecular C—H⋯O occurs. In the crystal, weak methyl and aromatic C—H⋯Br and formyl C—H⋯O(carbon­yl) hydrogen-bonding inter­actions generate an overall layered structure lying parallel to (001).
