In the title polymeric complex, [HgBr(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2))](n), each nicotine mol-ecule is bonded to two adjacent Hg atoms, one through the pyrrolidine N atom and the other through the pyridine N atom, forming zigzag chains along [010]. The coordination around mercury is completed by two bromido ligands resulting in a distorted tetra-hedral arrangement.
