Abstract: The title compound, C₅H₆BrN₂⁺·Br^-, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Cmca with all atoms lying on a crystallographic mirror plane at (0, y, z). The ion pairs pack as ribbons through N-HBr hydrogen bonds and BrBr halogen interactions. The ribbons are linked through weak C-HBr interactions to form layers which stack perpendicular to the a axis.
