Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cu(C22H17Br2N2O2)2], the Cu(II) ion is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN2O2 square-planar geometry by two phenolate O and two imino N atoms from two deprotonated N,O-bidentate ligands. In the crystal, the packing of the mol-ecules is controlled by C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.568 (3), 3.678 (2), 3.717 (3) and 3.799 (2) Å] and weak Br⋯Br halogen bonds [3.508 (4) Å], linking the mol-ecules into an infinite three-dimensional supra-molecular network.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
