Summary: | In the title compound, [PdBr2(C10H8N2)]·CH2Cl2, the Pd2+ ion is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment by two N atoms of the chelating 2,2′-bipyridine ligand and two bromide ions. The compound displays intramolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds and pairs of complex molecules are assembled by intermolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds. These pairs are connected by additional C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming a layer structure extending parallel to (011). Intermolecular π–π interactions between the pyridine rings of the ligand are also present, the shortest centroid–centroid distance being 4.090 (9) Å.
