In the title compound, (C7H10NO)2[SnCl6], the SnIV atom, located on an inversion center, exists in an octahedral coordination environment. The crystal structure exhibits alternating organic and inorganic layers parallel to (
01). The cations and anions are linked via intermolecular N-H
O, N-H
Cl and O-H
Cl hydrogen bonds. Additional stabilization is provided by
-
stacking interactions between the benzene rings of the cations [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6962 (15) and 3.9340 (15) Å].
Crystals of the title compound were grown from an aqueous solution that was obtained by dissolving SnCl2 (1 mmol) and 3-aminophenylmethanol (2 mmol) in hydrochloric acid. The solution was slowly evaporated to dryness for a couple of weeks. Some colorless crystals were carefully isolated under polarizing microscope for X-ray diffraction analysis.
H atoms were located in difference Fourier maps but introduced in calculated positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 and 0.97, N—H = 0.89, and O—H = 0.82 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(N, O).

The title compound was prepared as part of our ongoing studies of hydrogen-bonding interactions in the crystal structures of protonated amines (Bouacida, 2008; Bouacida et al., 2009).
In the title compound (Fig. 1), all bond distances and angles are within the ranges of accepted values (CSD, Allen, 2002). The amino N atom is protonated as in the other amines and imines (Bouacida et al., 2005a,b,c; Rademeyer, 2004a,b). The SnIV atom is six-coordinated with six Cl atoms, located on an inversion center, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal structure can be described as alternating layers of [SnCl6]2- comlpex anions and 3-hydroxymethylanilinium cations parallel to (1 0 1) (Fig. 2). In the crystal, the components of the structure are linked via intermolecular N—H···O, N—H···Cl and O—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 3). Additional stabilization is provided by π–π stacking interactions (Table 2). These interactions link the cations and anions together, reinforcing the cohesion of the ionic structure.
