Abstract :
The SnIV atom in the centrosymmetric anion of the title salt, (C4H7N2)2[Sn2(C4H9)2(C2O4)Cl6], is coordinated in a distorted octahedral mode by two O atoms of a bridging oxalate moiety, three Cl atoms and a C atom of an n-butyl group. The latter is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.66:0.33 occupancy ratio. N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving the 2-methylimidazolium cation and neighbouring anions result in the formation of chains extending parallel to [001].
