Bis(1,3-thiazol-2-aminium) hexachloridostannate(IV)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C3H5N2S)2[SnCl6], contains one cation in a general position and one-half of the dianion situated on an inversion center. The geometry of the [SnCl6]2− dianion is almost regular octahedral. In the crystal, weak N—H...Cl and N—H...S hydrogen bonds and electrostatic forces link cations and anions into a three-dimensional framework
