In the title compound, C(14)H(13)N(2) (+)·Br(-), the 1-(4-cyano-benz-yl)-4-methyl-pyridinium cation has a Λ-shaped conformation, and the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridinium rings is 75.8 (2)°. In the crystal, two cations form a dimer through π-π inter-actions between pyridine rings [the centroid-centroid distance is 3.685 (1) Å]. ...[more]
