In the bioactive title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(9)H(13)NO)(2)], the Zn(II) atom is coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral arrangement by two Br(-) anions and the O atoms of two zwitterionic organic ligands. The pyridinium rings are almost planar [maximum deviations = 0.004 (4) and 0.003 (4) Å]. The ethyl groups are approximately perpendicular to the corresponding pyridinium ring planes [N-C-C-C = 88.8 (4)° in each ligand]. The packing of the mol-ecules is controlled by π-π inter-actions, with centr ...[more]
