Dibromido(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κ²N,N′)(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)cadmium

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, [CdBr₂(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)(C₂H₆OS)], the Cd^II atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal configuration by two N atoms from a 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl sulfoxide ligand and two Br atoms. In the crystal, π–π contacts between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.710 (5), 3.711 (6) and 3.627 (5) Å] stabilize the structure.
