Dibromido{2-[(4-nitro-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]pyridine-κN,N'}zinc(II).

In the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(12)H(9)N(3)O(2))], the Zn(II) ion is bonded to two Br ions and two N atoms of the diimine ligand in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. With the exception of the Br atoms, all other atoms are disordered over two sets of sites corresponding to a 180° rotation of the mol-ecule along [[Formula: see text]02]. The refined occupancies of the components are 0.
