In the title compound, [SnBr2(C7H6Br)2(C24H16N2)], the Sn atom is coordinated to a 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, two 3-bromobenzyl and two bromide ligands, leading to a six-coordinate C2Br2N2 donor set. The bromobenzyl ligands are trans to each other, while the Br anions are in a cis arrangement. One of the two 3-bromobenzyl ligands is disordered over two similar conformations, with occupancies of 0.7078 (18) and 0.2922 (18). In the crystal, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by Br...Br halogen bonds [3.5972 (12) Å], which are linked into a supramolecular layer in the ac plane by weak intermolecular C—H...Br interactions.
