The crystal structure of the title compound, [PtBr(C15H11N3)][AuBr2]·(CH3)2SO, exhibits infinite chains of {PtAuPt}∞ metallophilic interactions along the b axis. Two cations and one anion stack in a trimer with a unique Pt...Au distance of 3.3361 (5) Å and Pt...Pt contacts of 3.4335 (6) Å. The remaining [AuBr2]− anion forms no close contacts.
