Bis­(benzyl­ammonium) hexa­chloro­tin(IV)

The crystal structure of bis­(benzyl­ammonium) hexa­chloro­tin(IV), (C₇H₇NH₃)₂[SnCl₆], exhibits ionic layers separated by hydro­carbon layers. The hydro­carbon layer contains two crystallographically inequivalent benzyl groups and aromatic π–π stacking interactions are observed in this layer. In the inorganic layer, the ammonium groups interact with isolated tilted [SnCl₆]²⁻ octahedra through normal, bifurcated and trifurcated N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
