Abstract
The title compound, [CdBr2(C12H8N2)2], synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Cd(CH3COO)2·2H2O with NaBr and 1,10-phenanthroline, has the CdII cation coordinated by two Br− anions and four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances 3.572 (1) and 3.671 (1) Å together with C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds.
