The title compound Zn(dip) Br-2 was synthesized using the Schiff base bidentate ligand (E)-4-tert-butyl-N-(pyridine-2-ylmethylene) benzeneamine (dip) and zinc(II) bromide salts. It has been characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, and optical spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that in this structure, the zinc(II) ion is located on an inversion center and exhibits a ZnN2Br2 tetrahedral geometry. In this structure the dip ligand is coordinated with zinc(II) ion in a cyclic-bidentate fashion forming a five-membered metallocyclic ring. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic sp. gr. P2(1)/m with a = 9.2700(13)angstrom, b = 7.6128(11)angstrom, c = 12.3880(17)angstrom, and beta= 97.021(3)degrees.
