Preferred Abstract (Original):

In the title complex, [CdBr2(C14H12N2)], the CdII ion is tetracoordinated by two N atoms of the bidentate 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two bromide ions in a substantially distorted CdN2Br2 tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of weak C-H Br bonds generate R22(14) loops. Aromatic - stacking [shortest centroid-centroid separation = 3.633 (2) Å] interactions occur within, and also link, the dimers into chains propagating parallel to [100].
