The crystal structures of this compounds were examined by means of X-ray diffraction on a four circle diffractometer. SnBr4 crystallizes at -30 degreesC in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (No.14) with a=1037.1(2), b=700.6(1), c=1047.0(2)pm, beta =102.56(1)degrees, V= 742.5(2)10(6) pm(3), Z=4. SnI4 crystallizes at room temperature in the cubic space group Pa (3) over bar with a = 1226.81(8) pm, V= 1846.4(3) . 10(6) pm(3), Z = 8. Both structures consist of very slightly distorted tetrahedral SnX4-molecules. The mean Sn-X-distances are 242.3 pm (Sn-Br) and 265.1 pm (Sn-I), which are significantly smaller than the sum of the normal covalent radii. The crystal structures are based on a hexagonal (bromide) and cubic-close (iodide) packing of the halogen atoms, in which only 1/8 of the tetrahedral sites are occupied by tin atoms. An approach for the description of the crystal structure of tin(IV) iodide on the base of the cubic-close packing is given. |
