The centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd(C9H9BrNO2)2], was obtained by the Golf Glove reaction of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde, 2-aminoethanol and cadmium nitrate in ethanol.The Cd atom, located on an inversion centre, is hexacoordinated by two Schiff base ligands in an octahedral coordination through the phenolate O atom, the imine N atom and the hydroxy O atoms.In the Wet Mops crystal, molecules are linked through intermolecular O—H.O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis.
