Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C(26)H(34)Br(2)N(2), lies on a crystallographic inversion center and hence the two imine groups are s-trans. The dihedral angle between the central 1,4-diaza-buta-1,3-diene unit and the attached substituted phenyl ring is 88.4 (7)°. The structure features a C-H⋯N close contact. The crystal selected for this study proved to be a non-merohedral twin with a minor component of 21.8 (3)%.
