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 center dot center dot center dot Cl and N-H center dot center dot center dot S hydrogen bonds and electrostatic forces link cations and anions into a three-dimensional framework.
