The present work aimed at studying a new organic-inorganic bis (4-amino quinolinium) hexachloro stanate (II) dihydrate compound. It was prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder, Hirshfeld surface, Spectroscopy measurement, thermal study and photoluminescence properties. It was found to crystallize in the monoclinic system (P21/c space group) with the following lattice parameters: a = 7.2558(6) Å, b = 13.4876(5) Å, c = 17.2107(13) Å, β = 102.028 (12)°. Its crystal structure was determined and refined down to an R value of 0.06 and a wR value of 0.087. The structure consisted of two different alternating organic-inorganic layers. The crystal packing was stabilized by NH⋯Cl and OH⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate intermolecular interactions, as well 2D finger plots were conducted to reveal the contribution of these interactions in the crystal structure quantitatively. The X-ray powder is in agreement with the X-ray structure. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) was carried out. Furthermore, the room temperature Infra Red (IR) spectrum of the title compound was analyzed on the basis of data found in the literature. Solid state 13C NMR spectrum shows ten signals, confirming the solid state structure determined by X-ray diffraction. Thermal analysis shows two anomalies at 380 and 610 °C. The optical properties of the crystal were studied using optical absorption UV–visible and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, which were investigated at room temperature.
