The crystal structure of the double salt tetrakis(anilinium) hexachlorotin(IV) dichloride, (C 6 H 8 N) 4 [SnCl 6 ]Cl 2 , exhibits alternating inorganic and organic layers parallel to the ab plane. In the inorganic layer, ammonium groups interact with chloride anions and isolated tilted [SnCl 6 ] 2À
The geometry around the Sn atom of the title compound, [Sn(C~6~H~5~)~3~(C~7~H~2~ClN~2~O~6~)], is distorted tetrahedral, with Sn—C distances lying in the range 2.124 (2)–2.119 (2) Å and an Sn—O distance of 2.0645 (15) Å.
The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C~8~H~5~)~4~], consists of one fourth of a discrete tin complex and one half of another which both possess nearly ideal tetrahedral symmetry; the site symmetries of the two Sn atoms are \overline4 and 2. The bond angles at all a
