Schwache Sn…I‐Wechselwirkungen in den Kristallstrukturen der Iodostannate [SnI4]2– und [SnI3]–

Weak Sn…I Interactions in the Crystal Structures of the Iodostannates SnI₄]^2– and SnI₃]^– Iodostannate complexes can be crystallized from SnI₂ solutions in polar organic solvents by precipitation with large counterions. Thereby isolated anions as well as one, two or three‐dimensional polymeric anionic substructures are established, in which SnI₃^– and SnI₄^2– groups are linked by weak Sn…I interactions. Examples are the iodostannates Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃]SnI₄] ( 1 ), (Ph₄P)₂Sn₂I₆] ( 2 ), Me₃N–(CH₂)₂–NMe₃]Sn₂I₆] ( 3 ), Fe(dmf)₆]SnI₃]₂ ( 4 ) and (Pr₄N)SnI₃] ( 5 ), which have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.
