The structure of the title compound, [NH2(CH3)2]2SbCl5, was determined at 295 and 85 K. It consists of polymeric (SbCl52−)n chains composed of deformed SbCl63− octahedra connected by corners and dimethylammonium cations. The temperature dependence of the Sb–Cl bond lengths is discussed. It is argued that the deformation of the octahedral coordination of the SbIII atom is caused by electrostatic interaction/hydrogen bonds.
