A. R. J. Genge, W. Levason, R. Patel, G. Reid and M. Webster

Synopsis: The crystal structures of the tri- and tetrahydrate of tin tetrachloride are reported and discussed. The trihydrate contains chains of the tin species linked by a single hydrogen-bonded water molecule, whilst the tetrahydrate has a three-dimensional network. In addition, there are O-HCl interactions present.

Formula: [SnCl₄(H₂O)₂]·H₂O and [SnCl₄(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O
