Abstract

The crystal structures of the two isomers bis(1-phenylethylammonium) hexachloridostannate(IV) and bis(2-phenylethylammonium) hexachloridostannate(IV), both (C(8)H(12)N)(2)[SnCl(6)], exhibit alternating organic and inorganic layers, which interact via N-H...Cl hydrogen bonding. The inorganic layer contains an extended two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded sheet. The Sn atom in the 1-phenylethylammonium salt lies on an inversion centre.
