(μ-4-Bromo-2-{1-[2-(dimethyl-amino)ethyl-imino]eth-yl}phenolato)bis-[ethyl-zinc(II)].

The title complex, [Zn(2)(C(2)H(5))(2)(C(12)H(16)BrN(2)O)(2)], is dimeric, bridged through the O atoms of the phenolate anions. The molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. Each Zn atom is penta-coordinated by two N atoms and two bridging O atoms of the tridentate salicylideneiminate ligands and one C atom from an ethyl group, forming a distorted square-pyramidal environment.
