The dihedral angle between the fused ring system and the pyridinone ring in the cation is 6.91 (6)¡ã. In the crystal, bifurcated N¡ªH...(O,Br) and O¡ªH...Br hydrogen bonds and S...O contacts [S...O = 3.0526 (10) ] connect the components into a three-dimensional network. The closest centroid¨Ccentroid distance between two ¦Ð-systems is 3.7420 (7) between two benzene rings. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536811022847
