The structure of the title ionic copper(II) compound, (C13H15N2)2[CuBr4], is built up of isolated 1,3-diallylbenzimidazolium cations and [CuBr4]2− anions which are interconnected by electrostatic interactions. Differences in packing of the heterocyclic cores results in a different structure compared with earlier investigated chloride and bromide analogues.

Compound I was synthesized from Cu(CF3COO)2H2O and 1,3-diallylbezimidazolium bromide in ethanol solution.
All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) or 0.97 Å (methylene) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C ).

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. |

The structure of the title compound (I) is built by isolated 1,3-diallylbenzimidazolium cations and CuBr42- anions which are interconnected by electrostatic interaction (Fig. 1). The copper(II) atom possesses a less common distorted tetrahedral coordination. The flattened tetrahedron of the CuII atom can be considered as a result of the Jahn–Teller effect similarly as it takes place in the structure of CsCuCl3 (Hathaway, 1982).
Compound I noticeably differs from earlier investigated chloride [C13H15N2]+2[CuIICl4]2- (Goreshnik et al., 1999) and chloride–bromide [C13H15N2]+2[CuCl2.58Br1.42]2- (Goreshnik et al., 2000) derivatives. Last two compounds are isostructural and crystallize, contrary to compound I, in an orthorhombic Fddd space group. The main difference between two structural types is the packing of the closest benimidazole rings. In chloride and chloride–bromide derivatives two closest heterocyclic cores are oriented in a 'head-to-tail' manner with the location of benzene ring of one organic molecule opposite the imidazole ring of another one (Fig. 2 left). The planes of the closest benzimidazole rings are slightly tilted. In compound I benzene ring of one organic moiety is oriented strictly opposite the benzene ring of another one (Fig. 2 right). Two closest benzimidazole cores appear to be strictly parallel, and the ring–ring distanse of 3.752 (9) Å indicates the presence of π–π stacking interaction.
