Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₃N₂O⁺·Br^-, in the solid state, has a zigzag packing of the azaaromatic molecules in the c direction, forming positively charged columns for the Br^- anions. The C-N-C angle at the substituted N atom [122.7  (5)°] is significantly larger than that at the unprotonated N atom [115.8  (5)°]. As for previously known azaaromatic halides and polyhalides, the title compound also has a short HBr distance for the C-HBr interaction.
