Materials Data on SnF4 by Materials Project
SnF4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two SnF4 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Sn4+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing SnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There is two shorter (1.91 Å) and four longer (2.08 Å) Sn–F bond length. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sn4+ atoms.
