Bis(2-bromo-pyridinium) hexa-bromido-stannate(IV).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(5)H(5)BrN)(2)[SnBr(6)], contains one cation and one half-anion. The [SnBr(6)](2-) anion is located on an inversion center and forms a quasi-regular octa-hedral arrangement. The crystal structure consists of two-dimensional supra-molecular layers assembled via hydrogen-bonding inter-actions of N-H⋯Br-Sn [D⋯A = 3.375 (13)-3.562 (13) Å and D-H⋯A = 127-142°, along with C-Br⋯Br synthons [3.667 (2) and 3.778 (3) Å]. These layers are parallel to the bc plane and built up from anions inter-acting extensively with the six surrounding cations.
