| Summary: | The title compound, C20H20Br2N2O2, a tetradentate Schiff base, is the enantiomerically pure R,R-diastereomer of four possible stereoisomers. The molecular structure reveals two strong intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy O atom and the imino N atom, which each generate S(6) rings. In the crystal, molecules are stacked in columns along the a axis; when viewed down the b axis, successive columns are stacked in the opposite direction. The structure reported herein is the monoclinic polymorph of the previously reported orthorhombic form [Yi & Hu (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, o2643], in which the complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis.
