Bis(cyclohexylammonium) tetrachloridodiphenylstannate(IV)

Abstract

The title compound, (C6H14N)2[Sn(C6H5)2Cl4], contains cyclohexylammonium cations in general positions and a stannate(IV) anion that is located on a twofold rotation axis. The SnIV atom in the complex anion is surrounded by four Cl− ligands and two trans-phenyl groups in a distorted octahedral configuration. The anions are connected with the cations through N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. Every cation is involved in three N—H...Cl bonds to the chloride ligands of three different anions, and each chloride ligand is linked to two cations. This arrangement leads to a layered structure parallel to (010).
