The crystal structure described by Cs2SnCl6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Cs(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent Sn(1)Cl6 octahedra. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form SnCl6 octahedra that share faces with eight equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Cs(1) and one Sn(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
