The title compound, C21H21ClP+Br−, is the bromide salt of a mixed aryl-alkyl phosphonium cation. C–P–C angles span a range of 107.20 (10)–111.18 (10)°. The non-H atoms of the 3-chloropropyl group adopt a staggered conformation [C–C–C–Cl torsion angle: −72.0 (3)°]. In the crystal, C—HBr contacts connect the entities of the title compound into a double zigzag chain along b. These chains are linked into a supramolecular layer lying parallel to (10-1) by C—Hπ interactions.
