Abstract

In the title salt, C(5)H(7)Br(2)N(2) (+)·Br(-), the cation and anion are connected by an N-H⋯Br hydrogen bond. In the crystal, there are inter-calated layers parallel to (10-2) in which bromide ions are located between the cations. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds are also observed.
