Abstract

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.
