trans-Dichlorotetrakis(pyridine-N)molybdenum(III) Tribromide

In the title compound, trans-[Mo^IIICl₂(C₅H₅N)₄]Br₃, the Cl and pyridine N atoms define a slightly distorted octahedron around the Mo atom. Both cations and anions lie on twofold axes. Pyridine rings which are located trans to each other are staggered. The tribromide ion, Br₃^-, is essentially linear.
