Dibromido(6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')zinc(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(11)H(10)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral configuration by two N atoms from a 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two terminal Br atoms. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.763 (5) and 3.835 (6) Å] contribute to crystal-packing effects.
