Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface of bis­(2-amino­pyridinium) hexa­chlorido­stannate(IV)

In the title mol­ecular salt, (C(5)H(7)N(2))(2)[SnCl(6)], the cation is protonated at the pyridine N atom and the complete dianion is generated by a crystallographic centre of symmetry. In the crystal, N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network built up from the stacking of alternate cationic and anionic layers. The nature of the inter­molecular inter­actions has been analysed in terms of the Hirshfeld surfaces of the cations and the anions. The thermal behaviour and the Raman spectrum of the title compound are reported.
