SnCl crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two tin chloride (sncl) molecules. Sn(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cl(1) atom. The Sn(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.46 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom.
