In the title compound, [CdBr2(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 Br atoms. In the crystal, C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and ππ stacking inter­actions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.763 (5) Å] are present.

Recently, we reported the synthesis and crystal structures of [Cd(5,5'-dmbpy)(µ-Br)2]n (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2012a) and [CdBr2(4,4'-dmbpy)(DMSO)] (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2012b) (5,5'-dmbpy = 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide). 6,6'-Dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (6,6'-dmbipy) is a good bidentate ligand and numerous complexes with 6,6'-dmbipy have been prepared, such as that of zinc (Alizadeh, Kalateh, Ebadi et al., 2009; Alizadeh, Kalateh, Khoshtarkib et al., 2009; Alizadeh, Khoshtarkib et al., 2009), copper (Itoh et al., 2005), cadmium (Alizadeh et al., 2010), cobalt (Akbarzadeh Torbati et al., 2010), nickel (Kou et al., 2008), ruthenium (Onggo et al., 2005) and mercury (Alizadeh et al., 2011). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.

In the title compound (Fig. 1), 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 Br atoms. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and ππ contacts (Fig. 2) between the pyridine rings, Cg2···Cg3i [symmetry code: (i) -x, 1-y, -z. Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the N1/C2–C6 ring and N2/C7–C11 ring], with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.763 (5) Å.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.25 g, 1.33 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of CdBr2.4H2O (0.46 g, 1.33 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) at room temperature. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction experiment were obtained by methanol diffusion into a colorless solution in DMSO after one week (yield: 0.47 g, 77.4%).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
