Bis(3-methyl-anilinium) hexa-chlorido-stannate(IV) dihydrate.

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, (C(7)H(10)N)(2)[SnCl(6)]·2H(2)O, the Sn(IV) atom lies on a site with symmetry 2/m. One of the Cl atoms lies on a mirror plane and the 3-methyl-anilinium cation is also situated on a mirror plane. The water mol-ecule is located on a twofold rotation axis. The H atoms of the methyl and ammonium groups and the solvent water mol-ecule are disordered by symmetry. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cl, O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the organic cations, the inorganic octahedrally shaped anions and the water mol-ecules.
