K2SnOCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. K(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), three equivalent Cl(2), and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing SnCl6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent K(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one Sn(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClK3Sn2 trigonal bipyramids.
K2SnOCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. K(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), three equivalent Cl(2), and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Both K(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.79 Å. There are a spread of K(1)-Cl(2) bond distances ranging from 3.31-3.62 Å. There are two shorter (3.27 Å) and two longer (3.40 Å) K(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. Sn(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing SnCl6 octahedra. Both Sn(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.61 Å. All Sn(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. O(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent K(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one Sn(1) atom.
