title: Dibromido(2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bi-1,3-thia-zole-κN,N')mercury(II).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [HgBr(2)(C(8)H(8)N(2)S(2))], contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. The Hg(II) atoms are four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two N atoms from a 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bi-1,3-thia-zole ligand and two Br atoms. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and π-π contacts between the thia-zole rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.670 (3) and 3.614 (2) Å] stabilize the structure.
