Structure of bis(2-chloroethyl)ammonium hexachlorostannate

Abstract

[(ClCH2CH2)2NH2]2SnCl6, M(r) = 617.48, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 15.67 (2), b = 13.54 (2), c = 13.24 (2) A, beta = 127.9 (2) degrees, V = 2217 A3, Z = 4, D chi = 1.85 g cm-3, lambda(Mo K alpha) = 0.71073 A, mu = 23.70 cm-1, F(000) = 1208, T = 295 K, R = 0.058, wR = 0.071 for 1231 unique reflections. The structure consists of discrete (ClCH2CH2)2NH2+ cations and octahedral SnCl6(2-) anions with the Sn sitting on the twofold axis.
