The SnIV atom of the stannate anion in the title salt, (C7H11N2)2[SnBr4(C6H5)2], lies on a center of inversion in a tetragonally compressed octahedron. The two independent Br atoms in the anion are hydrogen-bond acceptors for the same cation.
Cyclopentyltriphenyltin (1.36 g, 3 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide (1.1 g, 3 mmol) were heated in chloroform (100 ml) for 3 h. The filtered solution when allowed to evaporate yielded large yellow crystals, m.p. 470–473 K.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.98 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5Ueq(C). The ammonium H atom was refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.88±0.01 Å; its displacement parameter was freely refined.

Bis[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium] tetrabromidodiphenylstannate(IV), (I) (Fig. 1 and Table 1) was the product of the cleavage of the mixed alkyl/triarylstannate, cyclopentyltriphenyltin, by 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide. The stannate has the tin atom in a tetragonally compressed octahedral Br4C2 environment. The anion has also been reported as the centrosymmetric pyridinium salt: Sn–Br = 2.7592 (3), 2.7737 (3) and Sn–C 2.158 (3) Å (Tuleda & Khan, 1991). Connections between ions are of the type N-H···Br (Table 2) so that each independent pair of bromide atoms are linked to the same cation.
