Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C₁₁H₉N)₂[Sn(NO₃)₄], consists of a mononuclear complex anion and two non-coordinated 4-phenylpyridinium cations. The Sn^IV atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by eight O atoms of four NO₃^- anions. This mononuclear complex is further extended into a supramolecular network structure via non-classical hydrogen bonds between CH groups of cations and O atoms of neighbouring anions.
