metal-organic compounds
The structure of the title compound, (C10H12N2)[SnF3]2, is made up of alternating layers of cations and anions, where the anion layers form extended polymeric sheets through a series of secondary SnF bonds. Strong N—HF hydrogen bonds crosslink adjacent cation and anion layers, thereby building a three-dimensional network.
