- Various structures have been proposed for K$_{2}$SnCl$_{4}·H$_{2}$O:
- The original determination of this structure was made by (Brasseur, 1939) and given the Strukturbericht label $E3_{5}$ by (Herrmann, 1943).
- (Kamenar, 1962) proposed an alternative structure. Neither of these experiments located the hydrogen atoms.
- This was finally accomplished by (Ye, 2013), shown here. Their structure refined that of (Kamenar, 1962).
