(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ(2) N,N′)dibromido­palladium(II) dichloro­methane solvate

In the title compound, [PdBr(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))]·CH(2)Cl(2), the Pd(2+) ion is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment by two N atoms of the chelating 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and two bromide ions. The compound displays intra­molecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and pairs of complex mol­ecules are assembled by inter­molecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. These pairs are connected by additional C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming a layer structure extending parallel to (011). Inter­molecular π–π inter­actions between the pyridine rings of the ligand are also present, the shortest centroid–centroid distance being 4.090 (9) Å.
