Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₉N₂⁺·Br^-·H₂O, crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system. The structure consists of separate bipyridinium cations stacked along the a axis. The pyridine and pyridinium rings deviate from coplanarity by 29.6 (4)° about the C-C bridging bond. The Br^- ions and the water molecules are situated between the stacks.
