Materials Data on SnC2(SN)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

SnC2(NS)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two diisothiocyanatotin molecules. Sn2+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two N3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.23 Å) and one longer (2.30 Å) Sn–N bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one N3- and one S2- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.18 Å. The C–S bond length is 1.62 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one N3- and one S2- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.18 Å. The C–S bond length is 1.63 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sn2+ and one C4+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Sn2+ and one C4+ atom. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one C4+ atom.
