The tin(IV) atom in the salt, (C7H11N2)2[SnBr2(CH3)2Cl2], lies on a center of inversion in a tetragonally compressed octahedron; the bromine atoms are disordered with the chlorine atoms, so that they appear to share the same site. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H
Br hydrogen bonds.
Dimethyltin dichoride (2.20 g, 1 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide (3.62 g, 1 mmol) were heated in ethanol in an attempt to synthesize the bromodichloridodimethylstannate salt. Colorless crystals separated from it after a few days.
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 similarly treated (N–H 0.88 Å; U(H) = 1.2 Ueq(N)).
The chlorine atoms are disordered with respect to the bromine atoms, so that the halogen site is occupied by both a chlorine and a bromine. Constraints were applied so that at each site, the atoms had the same coordinates and the same anisotropic displacement parameters. The occupancies refined to 0.4551 (15) for the Br1/Cl2 pair, and to 0.5449 (15) for the Br2/Cl1 pair. The final difference Fourier map had a large peak at 1 Å from Sn1.

Bis(4-methylaminopyridinium) tetrabromidodiphenylstannate is produced from the cleavage of the mixed alkyl/triarylstannate, cyclopentyltriphenyltin, by 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide (Yap et al., 2008). In principle, the salt can be synthesized from the reaction of 4-dimethylaminopyridine hydrobromide perbromide and diphenyltin dibromide. The possibility is borne out by reacting the organic reagent with dimethyltin dichloride to yield the title salt (Scheme I, Fig. 1). The SnIV atom of the stannate lies on a center-of-inversion in tetragonally compressed octahedron; the two indepedent bromine atom share the sames site as the two independent chlorine atoms.
