The Mössbauer effect in tin(II) compounds. Part VI. Spectra of ternary tin(II) halides

Abstract

The ternary tin(II) halides SnXF (X = Cl, Br, I), SnlX (X = Cl, Br), Sn₂XF₃(X = Cl, I), Sn₂BrCl₃, and Sn₃BrF₅ and the ditin(II) isothiocyanate trihalides, Sn₂NCSX₃(X = F, Cl, Br, I) have been prepared and identified by their X-ray and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer data. The Mössbauer parameters of these materials are interpreted in terms of the use of tin(II) bonding electrons and of the likely structures of the ternary compounds.
