Bis(benzylammonium) hexachlorotin(IV).
The crystal structure of bis(benzylammonium) hexachlorotin(IV), (C(7)H(7)NH(3))(2)[SnCl(6)], exhibits ionic layers separated by hydrocarbon layers. The hydrocarbon layer contains two crystallographically inequivalent benzyl groups and aromatic pi-pi stacking interactions are observed in this layer. In the inorganic layer, the ammonium groups interact with isolated tilted [SnCl(6)](2-) octahedra through normal, bifurcated and trifurcated N-H.Cl hydrogen bonds.
