Abstract: In the title molecular salt, C₂₆H₂₈N₄²⁺·2Br^-, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 76.75 (11) and 82.40 (10)° with the pendant benzimidazole rings. The corresponding angle between the benzimidazole rings is 57.03 (9)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via C-HBr hydrogen bonds, forming sheets lying parallel to the bc plane. The crystal structure also features weak C-H interactions.
