| Summary: | In the title compound, [ZnBr2(C6H4N2)2], the ZnII atom is four coordinated in a slightly distorted tetrahedral fashion by two pyridine N atoms and two Br− anions. π–π interactions 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. |
