The di-2-pyridylamine ligands are nonplanar and the dihedral angles between the 2-pyridyl groups are 29.11 (9) and 37.15 (12)¡ã. The coordination cation, which has approximate C2 symmetry, is connected to the bromide ion via an N¡ªH...Br hydrogen bond. The ionic pair thus formed is further assembled into a dimer via N¡ªH...O interactions about an inversion centre. A set of weaker C¡ªH...O and C¡ªH...Br interactions connect the dimers into a three-dimensional network. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536811008051
