title: Dibromido(di-2-pyridyl-amine-κ(2)N(2),N(2'))platinum(II).
abstract: The Pt(II) ion in the title complex, [PtBr(2)(C(10)H(9)N(3))], is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar environment by two N atoms from a chelating di-2-pyridyl-amine (dpa) ligand and two Br(-) anions. The dpa ligand is not planar, with the dihedral angle between the pyridine rings being 40.8 (2)°. The complex mol-ecules are stacked in columns along [001] through π-π inter-actions between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.437 (3) and 3.520 (3) Å]. Inter-molecular N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into chains running along [010]. Intra-molecular C-H⋯Br interactions are also observed.
