Hydrates of tin tetrachloride

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

Abstract: The crystal structures of the tri- and tetrahydrate of tin tetrachloride, viz. diaquatetrachlorotin(IV) monohydrate, [SnCl4(H2O)2]·H2O, and diaquatetrachlorotin(IV) dihydrate, [SnCl4(H2O)2]·2H2O, are reported and shown to contain the cis-[SnCl4(H2O)2] species and water molecules in both cases. 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-H...Cl interactions present.

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