Materials Data on SnH8(CI)4 by Materials Project
SnH8(CI)4 is Protactinium structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two stannane, tetrakis(iodomethyl)- molecules. Sn4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent C2- atoms. All Sn–C bond lengths are 2.17 Å. C2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sn4+, two H1+, and one I1- atom. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and one longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. The C–I bond length is 2.16 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. I1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom.
