title: Materials Data on SnH8(ClO)4 by Materials Project

description: SnCl4(H2O)2SnH8(OCl)4(H2O)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight water molecules, four SnCl4(H2O)2 clusters, and four SnH8(OCl)4 clusters. In each SnCl4(H2O)2 cluster, Sn4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two O2- and four Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.19 Å) and one longer (2.21 Å) Sn–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Sn–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.44 Å. There are four 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 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.01 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Sn4+ and two H1+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Sn4+ and two H1+ atoms. There are four 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. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ atom. In each SnH8(OCl)4 cluster, Sn4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two O2- and four Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.17 Å) and one longer (2.18 Å) Sn–O bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.40 Å) and three longer (2.43 Å) Sn–Cl bond lengths. There are eight 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 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.58 Å) H–O bond length. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.64 Å) H–O bond length. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sn4+ and two H1+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Sn4+ and two H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three H1+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to three H1+ atoms. There are four 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. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ atom.
