Bis(benzyltriethylammonium) hexachloridostannate(IV)

Abstract

The reaction between benzyltriethylammonium chloride and dimethyltin dichloride yields the title salt, [(C6H5CH2)(C2H5)3N]2[SnCl6]. The SnIV atom, located on a center of inversion, exists in an octahedral coordination environment. The cation links with the anion via weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bonding.
