Bis(dimethylammonium) tetrachloridodimethylstannate(IV)

T. Diop, L. Diop and F. Michaud

Abstract: Regular crystals of the title compound, (C₂H₈N)₂[Sn(CH₃)₂Cl₄], were obtained by reacting SnMe₂Cl₂ with (CH₃)₂NH·HCl in ethanol in a 1:1 ratio. The Sn atom lies on a center of symmetry and is six-coordinated. It has a distorted octahedral SnC₂Cl₄ environment with the Cl atoms in cis positions. The Cl atoms are connected to dimethylammonium cations through N-HCl hydrogen bonds, forming an infinite chain extending parallel to [010].
