title: Bis(2-bromo-pyridinium) hexa-chlorido-stannate(IV).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(5)H(5)BrN)(2)[SnCl(6)], contains one cation and one half-anion. The [SnCl(6)](2-) anion is located on an inversion center and forms a quasi-regular octa-hedral arrangement. Hydrogen-bonding inter-actions of two kinds, viz. N-H⋯Cl-Sn and C-H⋯Cl-Sn, along with Cl⋯Br inter-actions [3.4393 (15) Å], connect the ions in the crystal structure into two-dimensional supra-molecular arrays. These supra-molecular arrays are arranged in layers approximately parallel to (110) built up from anions inter-acting with six symmetry-related surrounding cations.
