In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C6H9N2)2[CuBr4], the geometry around the Cu atom is intermediate between tetrahedral (Td) and square planar (D4h). Each [CuBr4]2− anion is connected non-symmetrically to four surrounding cations through N—H...X (pyridine and amine proton) hydrogen bonds, forming chains of the ladder-type running parallel to the crystallographic b axis. These layers are further connected by means of offset face-to-face interactions (parallel to the a axis), giving a three-dimensional network. Cation π–π stacking [centroid separations of 3.69 (9) and 3.71 (1) Å] and Br...aryl interactions [3.72 (2) and 4.04 (6) Å] are present in the crystal structure. There are no intermolecular Br...Br interactions.
