Abstract: The monoclinic unit cell of the title compound, [CuBr(C₃H₄N₂)₄]Br, emulates an orthorhombic cell as its angle is close to 90°; the crystal structure is twinned with approximately equal contributions of the two components. The Cu atom is five-coordinate in a square-pyramidal geometry. The cation interacts with the bromide anion through hydrogen bonds, which give rise to a layer structure.
