Poly[bis(phenethyl­ammonium) [di­bromido­plumbate(II)]-di-μ-bromido]]

Crystals of the title compound, {(C6H5C2H4NH3)2[PbBr4]}n, were grown at room temperature from a solution in N,N-dimethyl­formamide (DMF) using nitro­methane as the poor solvent. This perovskite-type organic–inorganic hybrid compound consists of well ordered sheets of corner-sharing disordered PbBr6 octa­hedra separated by bilayers of phenethyl­ammonium cations. The octa­hedra are rotated and tilted due to N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds with the ammonium groups, generating a superstructure in the unit cell similar to that of the tetra­chloridoplumbate (C6H5C2H4NH3)2[PbCl4]
