Trichlorostannate

Trichlorostannate is the inorganic anion with the formula SnCl3. It is the chloride adduct of stannous chloride:

The trichlorostannate anion is pyramidal in shape, being similar to trichlorogermanate (GeCl3) and antimony trichloride.

The anion can be isolated as quaternary ammonium salt and cesium salts. The compound with the formula K2SnCl4·H2O is a hydrated double salt, consisting of SnCl3 and Cl.

Trichlorostannate serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry, illustrated by the complex [Pt(SnCl3)5]3−.
