Abstract
In the title compound, [CdCl2(C12H12N2)], the CdII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two N atoms from a 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand and two terminal Cl atoms. Intermolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between the pyridyl rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7337 (18) Å] are present in the crystal structure.
