3-(Ammonio-meth-yl)pyridinium dibromide.

ABSTRACT: In the title salt, C(6)H(10)N(2) (2+)·2Br(-), the non-H atoms of the 3-methyl-pyridinium unit of the cation are almost coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0052?Å). In the crystal, the dications and Br anions are linked by a combination of six hydrogen bonds, viz. one N(py)-H?Br, two C-H?Br and three H(2)N-H?Br, into supra-molecular layers, parallel to the bc plane, composed of alternating R(2) (4)(10) and R(2) (4)(8) loops. Weak ?-? inter-actions between cationic rings with centroid-centroid distances of 3.891?(2)?Å are also observed.
