Bis{4-bromo-2-[(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato-κO,N,O'}cadmium.

The centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd(C(9)H(9)BrNO(2))(2)], was obtained by the reaction of 5-bromo-salicyl-aldehyde, 2-amino-ethanol and cadmium nitrate in ethanol. The Cd atom, located on an inversion centre, is hexa-coordinated by two Schiff base ligands in an octa-hedral coordination through the phenolate O atom, the imine N atom and the hy-droxy O atoms. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis.
