title: Diaqua-dibromidobis[3-dimethyl-amino-1-(4-pyridyl-κN)prop-2-en-1-one]cadmium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [CdBr(2)(C(10)H(12)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Cd(II) ion is located on an inversion center and is six-coordinated by two N atoms [Cd-N = 2.377 (3) Å] from two different 3-dimethyl-amino-1-(4-pyrid-yl)prop-2-en-1-one ligands, two O atoms [Cd-O = 2.355 (2) Å] from two coordinated water mol-ecules and two bromide anions [Cd-Br = 2.6855 (5) Å]. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into layers parallel to the bc plane.
