2,2'-Iminodipyridinium(1+) dichlorotriphenylstannate and 2,2'-iminodipyridinium(1+) tricyclohexylbis(trifluoroacetato)stannate

The Sn atom in 2,2^'-iminodipyridinium(1+) dichlorotriphenylstannate, (C₁₀H₁₀N₃)[SnCl₂(C₆H₅)₃], shows trans-C₃SnCl₂ trigonal-bipyramidal coordination. The stannate anion is linked by hydrogen bonds to adjacent counter-ions to form a chain. 2,2^'-Iminodipyridinium(1+) bis(trifluoroacetato)tricyclohexylstannate, (C₁₀H₁₀N₃)[Sn(C₂F₃O₂)(C₆H₁₁)₃], adopts a similar hydrogen-bonded chain structure.
