Abstract: The title compound, C₄H₄Br₂N₂, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each molecule forms stacks with its own kind, the stacks being approximately orthogonal to each other. Both Br atoms in molecule 1 form Lewis acid-base interactions with N atoms in molecule 2, with BrN distances of 3.078  (4) and 3.264  (4)  Å.
