Abstract: The title compound, [ZnBr₂(C₄H₅N₃)₂], is a mononuclear complex in which the Zn^II ions have distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The Zn^II ion binds to two N atoms from two different 2-aminopyrimidine ligands and two bromide ions. N-HN hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form a one-dimensional supramolecular structure. The supramolecular chains are parallel to each other and N-HBr hydrogen bonds link them into a two-dimensional network in the ac plane. Additionally, there are strong - interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.403 (3) Å].
