SnCl4(H2O)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four SnCl4(H2O)2 clusters. Sn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Sn(1), one H(1), and one H(2) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom.
