The complex molecule in the title compound, [NiBr2(C36H40N2)], has mirror symmetry. The NiII atom and two Br atoms are located on the mirror plane. The NiII atom is four-coordinated by the two Br atoms and two N atoms from an N,N′-bis(2,6-diethyl-4-phenylphenyl)butane-2,3-diimine ligand in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The dihedral angle formed between the two adjacent benzene rings is 47.1 (1)°.
