Materials Data on SnH10Cl4O5 by Materials Project
SnCl4(H2O)2(H2O)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twelve water molecules and four SnCl4(H2O)2 clusters. In each SnCl4(H2O)2 cluster, Sn4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent O2- and four Cl1- atoms. Both Sn–O bond lengths are 2.16 Å. All Sn–Cl bond lengths are 2.43 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.01 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and two H1+ atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ atom.
