Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, [HgBr₂(C₁₀H₉N₃)], the Hg^II atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral configuration by two N atoms from the chelating di-2-pyridylamine ligand and by two Br atoms. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-HBr hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. There are - contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.9662 (5) and 3.9321 (4) Å]. There also exists a C-H contact between the pyridine CH group and a pyridine ring.
