Iodostannates with polymeric anions: (Me3PhN)(4)(2)(infinity)[Sn3I10], [Me2HN-(CH2)(2)-NMe2H](2)(1)(infinity)[Sn3I10], and [Me2HN-(CH2)(2)-NMe2H](2)(infinity)[Sn3I8]

The polymeric iodostannate anions in (Me3PhN)(4 infinity)(2)[Sn3I10] (1) an d [Me2HN-(CH2)(2)-NMe2H](2)-(1)(infinity)[Sn3I10] (2) consist of Sn3I12-tri octahedra, which share four common iodine atoms with adjacent units to form infinite layers in 1 and polymeric chains in 2. In the anion of [Me2HN-(CH 2)(2)-NMe2H](infinity)(2)[Sn3I8] (3) distorted SnI6 octahedra sharing commo n edges and vertices form a two-dimensional network.
