Intermolecular bonding and characteristic lattice temperatures in organotin halides

Abstract

A set of Debye temperatures and characteristic temperatures of organotin halides is given based on Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements and Thirring's expansion of frequency moments, confirming that the second negative moment is directly related to the mean-square vibrational amplitude in the Debye–Waller factor and that the extent and types of intermolecular forces in strongly co-ordinated polymers are quite different from those in monomers.
