Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [CdBr2(C4H5N3O)2], two N atoms at the 3-position of the cytosine ligands and the two bromide ions complete the distorted tetrahedral geometry around the CdII atom. The cytosine ligands of one type are paired through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds while the cytosine ligands of another type are chained through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
