Abstract
A single-crystal X-ray investigation of potassium hydroxostannate(IV) K2Sn( OH)(6) showed rhombohedral space group R.(3) over bar with a = 6.545(1) Ang strom and c = 12.808(3) Angstrom. The Sn atom is surrounded by a slightly d istorted octahedral array of six Q atoms with Sn-O 2.068(1) Angstrom. [Sn(O H)(6)](2-) complex anions at e linked by O-H . . .O hydrogen bonds 2.894(2) Angstrom long. An X-ray diffraction powder pattern was indexed. IR absorpt ion bands were assigned. Thermolysis of the hydroxostannate proceeds in thr ee stages at 235, 362, and 495 degreesC to split 2, 1/3, and 2/3 water mole cules, respectively.
