Abstract
The five-coordinate Sn atom in the title salt, [(CH3)3(C6H6)N][SnBr2(C6H5)3], exists in a distorted trans-C3SnBr2 trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. In the crystal structure no obvious hydrogen bonding is observed.

Related literature The are few examples of dihalogenotriarylstannate salts having a counter-ion that does not participate in hydrogen bonding, which appears to assist in stabilizing the salt, see: Beckmann et al (2002); Harrison et al (1978); Kuhn et al (2001); Ng (1995); Wharf & Simard (1991)
