Preferred Abstract (Original): 
In the title complex, [CdBr2(C14H12N2)], the CdII ion is tetra¬coordinated by two N atoms of the bidentate 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two bromide ions in a substanti¬ally distorted CdN2Br2 tetra¬hedral geometry. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of weak C—H Br bonds generate R 2 2(14) loops. Aromatic π–π stacking [shortest centroid–centroid separation = 3.633 (2) Å] inter¬actions occur within, and also link, the dimers into chains propagating parallel to [100].
