Materials Data on SnH6Cl2O11 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sn(H2O)3(ClO4)2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ClO4 clusters and two Sn(H2O)3 clusters. In each ClO4 cluster, there are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.46 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.49 Å. Cl is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. In each Sn(H2O)3 cluster, Sn is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O atoms. All Sn–O bond lengths are 2.28 Å. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Sn and two H atoms.
