✦ Synopsis
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 octahedra through NÐHÁ Á ÁCl hydrogen bonds.
