title: Di-&mgr;-bromo-bis
abstract: Di-2-pyridyl ketone reacts with CdBr(2) in water to form the title centrosymmetric dinuclear complex, [Cd(2)Br(4)(C(11)H(10)N(2)O(2))(2)].3H(2)O, in which each metal atom is coordinated by an N,O,N'-chelated di-2-pyridylmethanediol ligand, two bridging bromo ligands and one terminal bromo ligand in a distorted octahedral geometry.
