Abstract: The title compound, [SnBr₄(C₂H₇N)₂], consists of separate centrosymmetric molecules with nearly octahedral geometry, in which the central Sn metal is surrounded by four Br atoms and two dimethylamine ligands. The unique Sn-N bond length is 2.244  (3)  Å and the two Sn-Br lengths are 2.5867  (11) and 2.5707  (12)  Å. The C-N bond lengths of the amine ligand are 1.482  (6) and 1.492  (6)  Å. The unique angle in the SnBr₄ plane is 90.82  (3)°, and the axial to equatorial angles are 86.18  (10) and 85.46  (10)°.
