Tin(IV) iodide, also known as stannic iodide, is the chemical compound with the formula SnI4. This tetrahedral molecule crystallizes as a bright orange solid that dissolves readily in nonpolar solvents such as benzene.[1]

Preparation

[edit]

The compound is usually prepared by the reaction of iodine and tin:[2]

Sn + 2I2 → SnI4

Chemical properties

[edit]

The compound hydrolyses in water.[3] In aqueous hydroiodic acid, it reacts to form a rare example of a hexaiodometallate:[2]

SnI4 + 2 I− → [SnI6]2−

Physical properties

[edit]

Tin(IV) iodide is an orange solid under standard conditions.[3] It has a cubic crystal structure with the space group Pa3 (space group no. 205), the lattice parameter a = 1226 pm and eight formula units per unit cell.[4] This corresponds approximately to a cubic close packing of iodine atoms in which 1/8 of all tetrahedral gaps are occupied by tin atoms. This leads to discrete tetrahedral SnI4 molecules.[5]
