Bis{µ-4,4',6,6'-tetra-bromo-2,2'-[o-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]-diphenol-ato}-bis-[(dimethyl-formamide)cadmium(II)].

The Schiff base ligand derived from the condensation of 3,5-dibromo-salicylaldehyde and 1,2-phenyl-enediamine, in the presence of dimethyl-formamide, forms the centrosymmetric title neutral binuclear distorted complex, [Cd(2)(C(20)H(10)Br(4)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], with the two octa-hedral Cd atoms linked by two O atoms. All bond lengths and angles show normal values.
