The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C9H20N+center dot Br center dot C6F4I2, contains one 2,2,6,6 tetramethylpiperidine-1-ium cation, one 1,2,3,4-tetrafluoro-5,6-diiodobenzene molecule, and one uncoordinated bromide anion. In the crystal, the bromide anions link the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine molecules by intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot Br and N-H center dot center dot center dot Br hydrogen bonds, leading to dimers, with the coplanar 1,2,3,4-tetrafluoro-5,6-diiodobenzene molecules filling the space between them. There is a pi-pi interaction between the almost parallel benzene rings [dihedral angle = 10.5 (2)degrees] with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.838 (3) angstrom and slippage of 1.468 angstrom. No C-H center dot center dot center dot pi(ring) interactions are observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H center dot center dot center dot F/F center dot center dot center dot H (23.8%), H center dot center dot center dot H (22.6%), H center dot center dot center dot Br/Br center dot center dot center dot H (17.3%) and H center dot center dot center dot I/I center dot center dot center dot H (13.8%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van derWaals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing.
