4-(Dimethylamino)pyridinium tetrachlorido(pyridine-2-carboxylato-κ2N,O)stannate(IV)

Abstract

The reaction of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, picolinic acid and stannic chloride yields the title salt, (C7H11N2)[SnCl4(C6H4NO2)], in which the SnIV atom is N,O-chelated by the picolinate ion in a cis-SnNOCl4 octahedral geometry. The cation is linked to the anion by an N—H...O hydrogen bond.
