In the title compound, C6H7BrN+·PF6-·H2O, N-H...F, N-H...O and O-H...F hydrogen-bonding interactions stabilize the crystal structure and give rise to to chains running parallel to the c axis. In the anion, four of the F atoms are disordered over two sets of sites of equal occupancy.

The title compound was synthesized as part of our group's search for ferroelectric compounds, which usually have a phase transition. For background to phase transition materials, see: Li et al. (2008[Li, X. Z., Qu, Z. R. & Xiong, R. G. (2008). Chin. J. Chem. 11, 1959-1962]); Zhang et al. (2009[Zhang, W., Chen, L. Z., Xiong, R. G., Nakamura, T. & Huang, S. D. (2009). J. Am. Chem.
