title: Dibromido(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')mercury(II).
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, [HgBr(2)(C(14)H(12)N(2))], the Hg(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral configuration by two N atoms from a 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and by two Br atoms. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis. There are π-π contacts between the phenanthroline rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.806 (4), 3.819 (4), 3.739 (3), 3.690 (3), 3.619 (4) and 3.674 (3) Å].
