The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CuBr2(C6H7N)2], contains one half-molecule, the whole molecule being generated by inversion through a center located at the CuII atom. The geometry around the CuII atom is square planar. Semicoordinate CuBr bonds [3.269 (1) Å] and nonclassical C—HBr hydrogen bonds connect the molecules, forming chains running parallel to the a axis. These chains are further linked via additional C—HBr hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
