Iodotriphenyltin(IV): a monoclinic polymorph

W.-T. Mao, L.-J. Tian, K.-Q. Gu and Y.-X. Sun

Abstract: A monoclinic polymorph of the title compound, [Sn(C₆H₅)₃I], complements the previously reported triclinic variant [Ng (1995). Acta Cryst. C51, 629-631; Simard & Wharf (1994). Acta Cryst. C50, 397-403]. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit; in both cases, the Sn atom adopts a distorted SnIC₃ tetrahedral environment.
