Materials Data on SnBr2 by Materials Project
SnBr2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sn2+ is bonded to six equivalent Br1- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SnBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are two shorter (3.00 Å) and four longer (3.02 Å) Sn–Br bond lengths. Br1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sn2+ atoms.
