Tetrakis(3,5‐di­methyl­pyridine)­dihydrido­silicon dibromide bis(aceto­nitrile) solvate and 3,5‐dimethylpyridinium bromide

In the course of an attempt to synthesize tetrakis(3,5‐di­methyl­pyridine)­dihydridosilicon dibromide, crystals of its aceto­nitrile disolvate, C₂₈H₃₈N₄Si²⁺·2Br^?·2C₂H₃N, (I), and of 3,5‐di­methyl­pyridinium bromide, C₇H₁₀N⁺·Br^?, (II), were obtained in the same reaction flask. They have both been structurally characterized.
