Abstract

In the title compound, (C(7)H(11)N(2))(2)[SnBr(4)(C(6)H(4)Cl)(2)]·C(6)H(4)BrCl, the Sn(IV) atom in the tetra-bromidobis(4-chloro-phen-yl)stannate(IV) anion lies on a centre of inversion. The distances between the 4-(dimethyl-amino)pyridinium N atom and the Br atoms of the anion are 3.450 (2) and 3.452 (2) Å, suggesting weak hydrogen bonding. The 4-bromo-chloro-benzene solvent mol-ecule, which is a bromination by-product from the reaction, is disordered about a twofold rotation axis with approximately equal occupancy.
