(2,2'-Bipyridine-κN,N')dibromido-palladium(II) dichloro-methane solvate.

In the title compound, [PdBr(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))]·CH(2)Cl(2), the Pd(2+) 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 intra-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and pairs of complex mol-ecules are assembled by inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. These pairs are connected by additional C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming a layer structure extending parallel to (011). Inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between the pyridine rings of the ligand are also present, the shortest centroid-centroid distance being 4.090 (9) Å.
