The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C5H6Br2N3)2[SnBr6], contains one cation and one half-anion in which the Sn atom is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion and is in a quasi-octahedral geometry. The crystal structure is assembled via hydrogen-bonding interactions of two kinds, N(pyridine/amine)-H
Br-Sn, along with C-BrBr-Sn interactions [3.4925 (19) Å]. The cations are involved in ![[pi]](/logos/entities/pi_rmgif.gif)
- stacking, which adds an extra supramolecularity as it presents a strong case of offset-face-to-face motifs [centroid-centroid distance = 3.577 (3) Å]. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds, short BrBr interactions and - stacking result in the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
For the preparation of the title compound, the warm solution of SnCl2 metal (1.0 mmol) dissolved in absolute ethanol (15 ml) was mixed with a stirred hot solution of 2,6-diaminopyridine (98%; 2 mmol) dissolved in ethanol (20 ml). The mixture was acidified with HBr (48%, 2-3 ml), and then treated with liquid Br2 (2-3 ml). The resulting mixture was stirred for 3 h, and then allowed to evaporate at room temperature. The salt crystallized over 2 d, as nice parallelepiped yellow crystals (yield; 82%).
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with N-H = 0.86 Å (for NH and NH2) and C-H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Non-covalent interactions play an important role in organizing structural units in both natural and artificial systems. Hybrid organic-inorganic compounds are of great interest owing to their ionic, electrical, magnetic and optical properties (Hill, 1998; Kagan et al., 1999; Raptopoulou et al., 2002). Tin metal-halo based hybrids are of particular interest as being materials with interesting optical and magnetic properties (Aruta et al., 2005; Knutson et al., 2005; Kagan et al., 1999). We are currently carrying out studies about lattice including different types of intermolecular interactions (aryl···aryl, X···X, X···aryl and X···H). Within our research of hybrid compounds containing tin metal (Al-Far & Ali 2007; Al-Far, Ali & Al-Sou'od, 2007; Ali & Al-Far, 2007; Ali, Al-Far & Ng, 2007), we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one cation and one-half anion, in which the Sn atom is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion and is in a quasi-octahedral geometry (Fig. 1 and Table 1). The Sn-Br bonds are in accordance with the corresponding values in similar compounds (Willey et al., 1998; Tudela & Khan 1991; Ali et al., 2008; Al-Far & Ali 2007). The pyridine ring of the starting cation have undergone bromination during the synthesis process (Al-Far & Ali, 2007). In the cation, the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges.
In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular N-H···Br interactions (Table 2) link the molecules into alternating layers of cations and stacks of anions (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The anion stacks are interacting with the cation layers in an extensive hydrogen bonding and Br···Br halogen bonding interactions. Each anion is surrounded by six cations via three H—N—H···Br, one N—H···Br interactions and the symmetry related ones along with one Br···Br interaction [Br2···Br4i = 3.4925 (19) Å, symmetry code (i): 2 - x, 1 - y, -z)] and the symmetry related one. On the other hand, each cation is associated with three anions, through six (Npyridinic, Naminic)—H···Br—Sn hydrogen bonding interactions, and by one C—Br···Br—Sn interaction. It is noteworthy that structural and theoretical results (Awwadi et al. 2007; and references therein), show the significance of linear C—Br···Br synthons in influencing structures of crystalline materials and in use as potential building blocks in crystal engineering via supramolecular synthesis.
Moreover, interactions between cations perpendicular to [101] represent a case of strong offset face-to-face π–π motif. This is evident by the centroids separation distance of 5.059 (3) Å, with the perpendicular distance between planes being 3.577 (3) Å (the sliding angle between planes is 45.0 (3)°).
