(2,2'-Biquinoline-κN,N')dibromido-zinc(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(18)H(12)N(2))], the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral configuration by two N atoms from the 2,2'-biquinoline ligand and two terminal Br atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and extensive inter-molecular π-π contacts between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.775 (4), 3.748 (4), 3.735 (4), 3.538 (4), 3.678 (4) and 3.513 (4) Å].
