K2SnCl6 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mnc space group. K(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and one Sn(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ClK4Sn square pyramids. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one Sn(1) atom.
