In the title complex mol-ecule, [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 octa-hedral geometry. The dihedral angle formed by the mean planes through the bipyridine ligands is 87.01 (11)°. In the crystal packing, π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.837 (6) and 3.867 (11) Å] link adjacent complex mol-ecules into chains running parallel to the b ax ...[more]
