The anion in the title salt, (C7H11N2)[SnBr2(C6H5)3], lies on a twofold rotation axis that passes through the metal atom as well as the Cipso-Cpara atoms of one of the aromatic rings. The metal center is five-coordinate in a trans-Br2SnC3 trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The cation is disordered about a center of inversion.
Tetraphenyltin (2 g, 4.7 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide (1.7 g, 4.6 mmol) were heated in chloroform (100 ml) for 6 h. The solution was filtered and the solvent allow to evaporate to give yellow crystals (m.p. 455–457 K, 80% yield).
The cation is disordered over a center-of-inversion, and was allowed to refine over this symmetry element as a half-occupancy cation. For the aromatic ring, 1,2-related distances were restrained to 1.39±0.01 Å and 1,3-related ones to 2.78±0.01 Å. For the dimethylamino group, the N–C distances were restrained to 1.50±0.01 Å. Anisotropic temperature factors of the carbon and nitrogen atoms were restrained to be nearly isotropic.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 to 0.97 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5U(C). The ammonium H-atom was similarly treated (N–H 0.86 Å; U(H) = 1.2U(B).
The final difference Fourier map had a large peak at 1 Å from Br1.

The aqueous solubility of biocidal triorganotin halides can be improved by converting them to their ionic salts through treatment with an ammonium halide. A small number of ammonium dihalogenotriorganostannates are known; tetraethylammonium dibromidotriphenylstannate, who crystal structure is known, is synthesized in this manner (Wharf & Simard, 1991).
The present synthesis uses the mild brominating agent, 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide, which cleaves one of the four tin-carbon bonds of tetraphenyltin to yield the bromidotriphenylstannate anion. In the title compound (I), the anion lies about a twofold rotation axis that passes through the metal atom as well as the Cipso–Cpara atoms of one of the aromatic rings. The metal center is five-coordinate in a trans-C3SnBr2 trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The cation and anion exist as two non-interacting species (Fig. 1).
