Abstract: Reaction of copper(II) bromide with 3,5-dichloropyridine (3,5-Cl2py) or 3,5-dimethylpyridine (3,5-Me2py) led to the isolation of the coordination polymers catena-poly[[bis(3,5-dichloropyridine)copper(II)]-di-μ-bromido], [CuBr2(C5H3Cl2N)2] n or [CuBr2(3,5-Cl2py)2] n (1), and catena-poly[[bis(3,5-dimethylpyridine)copper(II)]-di-μ-bromido], [CuBr2(C7H9N)2] n or [CuBr2(3,5-Me2py)2] n (2), respectively. The structures are characterized by bibromide-bridged chains [d(av.)Cu...Cu = 3.93 (9) Å]. In 1, the chains are linked perpendicular to the a axis by non-classical hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds, while in 2, only non-classical hydrogen bonds are observed.
