Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(6)H(20)N(4))(2)[Sn(2)S(6)], comprises half of a [Sn(2)S(6)](4-) anion and a diprotonated tris-(2-amino-eth-yl)amine cation. The anion lies on an inversion center, while the atoms of the cation occupy general positions. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed in the cation. In the crystal, strong N-H⋯S hydrogen bonding between the terminal sulfur atoms of the anion and the protonated amine N atoms of the cations result in a three-dimensional network.
