title: Dibromido(di-2-pyridyl sulfide-κN,N')zinc(II).
abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2)S)], contains a six-membered chelate ring in a boat conformation in which the Zn atom is coordinated by two Br atoms and by the two pyridyl N atoms of a single di-2-pyridyl sulfide (dps) ligand within a slightly distorted tetra-hedron. The dihedral angle between the pyridine rings is 52.7 (1)°. As is usual for this type of complex, the sulfide group does not participate in the zinc coordination.
