Cover illustration: The salt bis(di-isobutylammonium) tetrachloridobis(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)stannate was obtained as a by-product in a reaction of tris(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)tin chloride with acetic acid in the presence of di-isobutylamine. An interesting Sn—C cleavage occurred during this reaction. The asymmetric unit comprises a di-isobutylammonium cation in a general position and a diorganotin tetrachloride dianion, located on a centre of inversion; the SnIV atom is octahedrally coordinated. In the crystal, charge-assisted N+—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds along with C—H⋯F contacts occur within supramolecular layers that interdigitate along the a-axis direction.
