Cover illustration: 1,3,2-Diazaphospholidines are a class of N-heterocyclic phosphines (NHPs) that feature an N–P–N moiety bridged by a C2H4 fragment, thus forming a five-membered ring. Derivatives are often substituted by alkyl, aryl or halogen groups at the phosphorus position, allowing them to serve as both ligands and/or precursors in organometallic chemistry. The featured compound, 2-chloro-1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3,2-diazaphospholidine 2-oxide, is closely related to these compounds and its analogues are commonly used as precursor molecules for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals targeted towards immunosuppressants and chemotherapy medications.

The title compound is not planar due to the folding of the seven-membered ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are packed opposite each other to minimize the electronic repulsion but the long inter­molecular distances indicate that no directional contacts are found.

The packing is centred on bis­(piperidinium) sulfate ribbons parallel to the c axis; the cations are hydrogen bonded to the sulfate by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O inter­actions. The 1,3-di­methyl­urea mol­ecules are also hydrogen bonded to sulfate O atoms, and project outwards from the ribbon parallel to the b axis.

The octa­hedrally coordinated SnIV atom in [Sn(C7H6F)2Cl2(C2H6OS)2] is located on a centre of inversion so the resulting donor C2Cl2O2 donor set is all-trans. The three-dimensional mol­ecular packing is sustained by C—H⋯F, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π inter­actions.

The stability of the structure is ensured only by van der Waals inter­actions and the their prevalence is confirmed by an analysis of the three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface (HS) and two-dimensional fingerprint plots (FP).
