In the title compound, [Na2(N3)2(C21H34N2O6)2]·2CHCl3, the sodium cation is heptacoordinated by five O atoms of the crown ether unit of the 1-hexyl-3-(2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octahydro-1,4,7,10,13-benzopentaoxacyclopentadecin-15-yl)urea (L) ligand, the O atom of the urea group of the second, symmetry-related L ligand, and one N atom of the azide anion. The experimentally determined distance 2.472 (2) Å between the terminal azide N atom and the sodium cation is substantially longer than that predicted from density functional theory (DFT) calculations (2.263 Å). The crown ethers complexing the sodium cation are related by an inversion centre and form dimers. The urea groups of the two L ligands are connected in a head-to-tail fashion by classical N—HN hydrogen-bonding interactions and form a ribbon-like structure parallel to the b axis. Parallel ribbons are weakly linked through C—HN, C—HO and C—Hπ interactions.

The asymmetric unit of the title organotin salt, (C8H20N)[Sn(C6H5)3(CH4O3P)2], contains two dibutylammonium cations and two stannate(IV) anions consisting each of two monodentately bonding methyl hydrogenphosphate groups attached to an Sn(C6H5) unit. The overall coordination environment of the two SnIV atoms is trigonal–bipyramidal defined by three phenyl C atoms in equatorial positions and two methyl hydrogenphosphate O atoms at the apical sites. In the crystal, the stannate(IV) anions are linked to each other via pairs of short O—HO hydrogen bonds, leading to an infinite chain extending parallel to the b-axis direction. Neighbouring chains are linked by N—HO hydrogen bonds involving the butylammonium cations, giving a two-dimensional structure parallel to the ab plane. The crystal under investigation was found to be twinned by reticular merohedry with twin fractions of 0.5342 (7):0.4658 (7).

In the structure of the title coordination polymer, {(C8H20N)[Sn3(CH3)9(SO4)2]}n, each of the three SnIV atoms is coordinated in a trigonal–bipyramidal manner by three methyl groups in the equatorial plane and by two O atoms of SO42− anions in the axial positions. The μ3-bridging mode of the sulfate anions leads to the formation of corrugated anionic layers parallel to (100). The uncoordinating O atom of one of the two SO42− anions is N—HO hydrogen-bonded to the dibutylammonium cation interconnecting the anionic sheets. The structure is partially disordered. The dibutyl ammonium ion is found on two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.525 (10):0.475 (10), and one sulfate group with three connecting trimethyl stannyl groups is also positionally disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.725 (4):0.275 (4).
