Abstract

In the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(6)H(4)N(2))(2)], the Zn(II) atom is four coordinated in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral fashion by two pyridine N atoms and two Br(-) anions. π-π inter-actions between adjacent pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6229 (19) Å] are the main factor controlling the packing and are effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure.
