bond angles within the square plane total 360° within
experimental error (359.6° and 359.8°). The N–Cu–N
bond angles are less than 90° due to the geometrical
constraints of the bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine fragment
of the ligand (ranging from 81.8° to 83.3°), while the N–
Cu–Br bond angles are greater than 90° for the same
reason (ranging from 95.8° to 98.1°). The chloride
counterpart of complex-2 has been reported [16], and
the structure is largely similar to complex-2. As for
complex-2, there are two crystallographically indepen-
dent molecules within the unit cell. The copper–oxygen

During recrystallization from methanol, water was
incorporated into the crystal, and formed a hydrogen-
bonded network with the complex and the bromide
counterions. A stereoview of the unit cell is shown in

hydrogen bonded to a bromide anion, d(H–O) ¼

The network criss-crosses the crystal lattice, with one
portion of the network being the water–Br–Cu–Br series
of hydrogen bond connections and the ‘‘perpendicular’’
portion of the network being the water–Br–phenol-to-
phenol–water–Br series of connections.
