Di-μ-bromo-bis­{aqua­[(5-bromo-1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl­ene)(2-pyridylmeth­yl)amine-κ3N,N′,N′′]nickel(II)} dibromide

In the title compound, [Ni2Br2(C10H9BrN4)2(H2O)2]Br2, the asymmetric unit consists of one half-cation and one Br− anion. The dinuclear cation is located on an inversion centre and each NiII ion is chelated by one tridentate (5-bromo-1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl­ene)(2-pyridylmeth­yl)amine (BIPI) ligand, one water mol­ecule and two bridging Br− ligands. The tridentate BIPI ligand is essentially planar. Hydrogen bonds involving the Br− anions stabilize the crystal structure.
