Abstract: The title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₁₃H₂₃N₃)], (3), was readily prepared from the reaction between ZnBr₂ and (S,S)-(1-6-[1-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-2-pyridinylethyl)-N,N-dimethylamine. (3) exists as a distorted square pyramid and crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The apical position of the square pyramid is occupied by one of the Br atoms, with the base of the pyramid consisting of the three N atoms of the ligand and the other Br atom. This is the first reported structure determination of a compound containing the C₂-symmetric molecule (S,S)-N-(1-{6-[1-(dimethylamino)ethyl]pyridin-2-yl}ethyl)-N,N-dimethylamine.
