Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [PtBr(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)][AuBr₂]·(CH₃)₂SO, exhibits infinite chains of {PtAuPt} metallophilic interactions along the b axis. Two cations and one anion stack in a trimer with a unique PtAu distance of 3.3361 (5) Å and PtPt contacts of 3.4335 (6) Å. The remaining [AuBr₂]^- anion forms no close contacts.
