Abstract

In the cation of the title salt, C20H19N2O+·Br-, the phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 38.38 (8)°, whereas the central phenyl ring and the pyridiniminium ring are almost perpendicular with a dihedral angle of 87.37 (9)°. The N+=C cationic double bond was verified by the shortened bond length of 1.337 (2) Å. In the crystal, the Br- anion is linked to the cation by an N-H⋯Br hydrogen bond. C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent pyridiniminium cations into inversion dimers with an R22(18) graph-set motif. These dimers are stacked in a phen-yl-phenyl T-shaped geometry through C-H⋯π inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to verify the contributions of the different inter-molecular inter-actions.
