title: Bis(1,3-thia-zol-2-aminium) hexa-chlorido-stannate(IV).
abstract: 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 octa-hedral. 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.
