Abstract:
In the title compound, C(20)H(30)N(2) (2+)·2Br(-)·2H(2)O, the asymmetric unit consists of half of the N,N'-dibenzyl-N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethylenediammonium cation lying across an inversion center, a bromide ion and a water mol-ecule of solvation. There is an eight-membered dibromide dihydrate ring, which is formed via hydrogen bonds of the type O-H⋯Br.
