The title compound, C7H7N2+·Br, forms a layered solid with each cation forming three strong and one weaker C—H...Br hydrogen bonds within the layer. All atoms except two of the methyl H atoms lie on a mirror plane.

Author Response: ...Crystal was twinned so final refinement was performed with a SHELX HKLF5-type multicomponent file. Such a refinement with SHELXL requires that no merging of equivalent reflections be performed. This is to avoid averaging symmetry equivalent reflections with differing contributions from the two twin components. This is the reason for the "excess reflections". This is addressed in the _publ_section_exptl_refinement section.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only

used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
