The compound described by K2SnCl6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. K(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(3), three equivalent Cl(1), and three equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent K(1) and one Sn(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and one Sn(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ClK3Sn trigonal pyramids. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one Sn(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
