In the hybride title salt, (C2H7BrN)2[SnBr6], the charge of the anionic [SnBr6]2− moiety is balanced by two (H3N(CH2)2Br)+ cations. The tin(IV) atom is located on a mirror plane and has a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment. The inorganic octa­hedra are discrete, thus leading to a 0D topology within the crystal structure. The two crystallographically unique organic cations have different conformations: while one has a gauche conformation, the other has an anti conformation, both without special symmetry but with positional disorder over the crystallographic mirror plane. Contacts between organic and inorganic parts in the crystal structure are ensured by N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and weak Br⋯Br and C—H⋯Br inter­actions.

1. Chemical context

Hybrid metal halides with perovskite-type structures are an important class of solution-processed semiconductors with noteworthy electronic and optical behavior. The most studied are Pb-based perovskites, but inclusion of toxic lead makes the resulting product rather inapplicable. To reduce the toxicity of the resulting perovskites, Pb is frequently replaced with less toxic elements like Sn, Ge, Cu, Sb, or Bi. Sn-based hybrid perovskites were found to be the most promising ones in terms of their optoelectric properties (Wang & Shi, 2024View full citation). Notably, during storage in air, tin can oxidize from SnII to SnIV, which is usually a drawback, but SnIV-based materials have still found some important applications. For example, SnIV can play beneficial roles in perovskites when deliberately engineered at surfaces or in the bulk of oxide-based materials. In inorganic CsPb0.6Sn0.4I3, sequential surface SnIV hydrolysis leads to an ultrathin n-type tin-oxide layer that passivates traps and optimizes band alignment, raising power conversion efficiency to 16.79% with T90 ≃ 958 h, illustrating purposeful the use of SnIV as an inter­facial component rather than a defect (Hu et al., 2023View full citation). Deliberately maintained oxidized tin at surfaces or grain boundaries can also assist passivation, barrier formation, and contact selectivity in tin perovskite optoelectronics (Yang et al., 2025View full citation).

Apart from well-studied hybrid perovskites with methyl­ammonium and formamidinium cations, materials containing the aziridinium cation have gained attention in the past few years. The small size of the aziridinium cation suits the perovskite tolerance window (Teng et al., 2021View full citation) and promotes stabilization of 3D halide frameworks (Petrosova et al., 2022View full citation). Combining the reduced toxicity of tin with the small aziridinium ring cation, (AzrH)SnHal3 (Hal is a halogen) perovskites can stabilize 3D frameworks and maintain semiconducting properties for multiple halides, positioning them as attractive lead-free materials for light absorption and emission (Kucheriv et al., 2023View full citation). At the same time, working with aziridinium tin halide perovskite requires additional caution due to the tendency of tin(II) to oxidize to tin(IV) and of aziridinium to undergo ring opening (Fig. 1[link]).

In this work we report on the crystal structure of bis­(2-bromo­ethyl­ammonium) hexa­bromido­stanate(IV), which has formed unintentionally upon the intended synthesis of (AzrH)SnBr3.

2. Structural commentary

The crystal structure of the title compound consists of two organic 2-bromo­ethyl­ammonium cations and octa­hedral [SnBr6]2– anions (Fig. 2[link]). The backbone of the cation N1—C1—C2—Br5 has a torsional angle of −65.4 (13)° and thus adopts a gauche conformation, while that of the other cation N2—C3—C4—Br6 has a torsional angle of 165.9 (7)° and adopts an anti conformation. Both cations are equally disordered over a mirror plane. This disorder affects atoms C2 and Br5 of the first cation and C4 of the second cation, as well as the H atoms bonded to N1, N2, C1, and C3. The neighbouring [SnBr6]2– octa­hedra do not inter­act directly with each other, leading to a 0D topology within the crystal structure. The Sn—Br bond lengths vary from 2.5662 (10) to 2.6135 (16) Å. The [SnBr6]2– octa­hedron is distorted with notable elongation of axial bonds: Sn1—Br4 and Sn1—Br2 bond length are 2.6127 (16) Å and 2.6135 (16) Å, respectively, while the bond lengths Sn1—Br1 and Sn1—Br3 (and two symmetry equivalents generated by a mirror plane) with ligands in equatorial positions are 2.5828 (10) Å and 2.5662 (10) Å, respectively. The angles Br4—Sn1—Br2 and Br3—Sn1—Br1 are almost equal, 178.52 (5) and 178.72 (4)°, with minimal deviation from the ideal 180°. The cis-Br—Sn—Br angles vary from 89.11 (4) to 91.82 (5)°, which also shows a very small deviation from 90°. Qu­anti­tative octa­hedral distortion parameters were calculated as Δd = (1/6)Σ6i=1(di − d)2/d2 (1) and Σ=12i=1|90 − αi| (2) where di is the Sb—Br bond length and d is the average bond length, and αi corresponds to 12 cis-angles in the octa­hedron. The value of Δd is 5.64 × 10−5, which is typical for a perovskite structure with 0D topology. The Σ value amounts to 8.669°.

3. Supra­molecular features

Fig. 3[link] shows a fragment of the crystal structure and illustrates the inter­molecular organization through N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, formed between ammonium groups and the Br atoms of the [SnBr6]2– anions, which create supra­molecular layers parallel to the bc plane (Figs. 3[link], 4[link]). The strongest hydrogen bonds are N2—H2D⋯Br2 and N1—H1A⋯Br1(−x + 1, −y + 2, −z), with DA distances of 3.462 (10) and 3.481 (9) Å, and N—H⋯Br angles of 133 and 134°, respectively. Numerical data of other N—H⋯Br inter­actions are given in Table 1[link]. Notably, N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds are not realized between the ammonium group and the Br atoms of neighbouring cations. Instead, a close Br2⋯Br6(1 + x, y, z) contact [3.704 (2) Å] is observed between the bromine atom of an organic cation and one of the bromido ligands [C4—Br6(1 + x, −y, z)⋯Br2 = 159.3689 (11)°, Sn1—Br6(1 + x, −y, z)⋯Br2 = 143.209 (3)°]. The arrangement of this Br⋯Br inter­action suggests partial σ-hole directionality, although the distance is at the van der Waals limit (3.7 Å for Br⋯Br; Bondi, 1964View full citation), indicating a weak halogen-type inter­action rather than a strong halogen bond.

The disorder of organic cations, except for the H atoms of the NH3 groups, was omitted for clarity.

There are other short Br⋯Br inter­actions between neighbouring [SnBr6]2– octa­hedra (Fig. 5[link]) within a range of 3.7–3.8 Å, and Θ1Θ2 (135 and 107°, accordingly). This distance corresponds to approximately the sum of van der Waals radii and can therefore inter­preted as a type I geometry-based contact (Veluthaparambath et al., 2023View full citation) arising from close-packing requirements rather than a true halogen⋯halogen inter­action (Desiraju & Parthasarathy, 1989View full citation; Veluthaparambath et al., 2023View full citation). This Br⋯Br contact ensures that [SnBr6]2– octa­hedra arrange themselves into supra­molecular layers. Organic cations also arrange themselves, then into supra­molecular chains propagating parallel to the b axis through weak C—H⋯Br inter­actions (Fig. 6[link], Table 1[link]). Additional C—H⋯Br contacts (Table 1[link]) between the organic cations and the [SnBr6]2– octa­hedra consolidate the packing.

4. Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD, version 6.00, last update April 2025; Groom et al., 2016View full citation) revealed 102 structures containing the 2-bromo­ethyl­ammonium cation of the title compound. Selected examples include OJAPIC (Luo et al., 2023View full citation) and NUSRIF (Ishihara et al., 2020View full citation). OJAPIC is (2-bromo­etyl­ammonium)3[InBr6] containing discrete [InBr6] octa­hedra with an 0D topology similar to that of the title compound. NUSRIF is (2-bromo­etyl­ammonium)2[CdBr4] and is made up from [CdBr6] octa­hedra connected into layers through corner-sharing.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Tin(II) chloride (150 mg, 0.79 mmol, 1 eq.) was dissolved in 1 ml of water and 0.1 ml of HCl (to avoid hydrolysis). Ammonia solution (0.5 ml) was added to the first solution and stirred. As a result, a white precipitate of Sn(OH)2 was formed. The precipitate was filtered off and washed with water. The obtained tin hydroxide was dissolved in a mixture of 2.4 ml of hydro­bromic acid (48%wt) and 4.5 ml of water. Aziridine (120 µl, 2.3 mmol, 2.9 eq.) were dissolved in 2 ml of water, previously cooled in an ice bath. The aziridine solution was then added dropwise to tin bromide solution in an ice bath under stirring (Kucheriv et al., 2023View full citation). After that, the solution was left in the air for a month to produce crystals of the title compound.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2[link]. Disorder is caused by a mirror plane parallel to the ac plane. Occupancies of C2, C4 and Br5 were set to 0.5. Hydrogen atoms bonded to C1, C3, N1, N2 are also disordered over this mirror plane. One hydrogen atom (H4A) was considered to be part of two disordered moieties [C4, C4(x, [{\script{3\over 2}}] − y, z)]. H atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). H atoms of CH2 groups were refined as riding and of NH3 groups as rotating.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
