Bis(2,2′-bipyridine-κ(2) N,N′)dibromido­cadmium(II)

In the title complex mol­ecule, [CdBr(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Cd(II) ion is six-coordinated by two cis-arranged bromide anions and four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2′-bipyridine ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The dihedral angle formed by the mean planes through the bipyridine ligands is 87.01 (11)°. In the crystal packing, π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.837 (6) and 3.867 (11) Å] link adjacent complex mol­ecules into chains running parallel to the b axis. The chains are further connected by inter­molecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
