Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(18)H(26)N(2) (2+)·2Br(-)·2H(2)O, consists of one-half of the organic cation, one Br(-) anion and one water mol-ecule. The organic cation is situated on a centre of inversion. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the plane of the central linkage is 59.3 (1)°. The cations, anions and water mol-ecules are linked via O-H⋯Br, C-H⋯Br and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework.
