Tin(IV) bromide is the chemical compound SnBr4. It is a colourless low melting solid.[1]

Structure

SnBr4 occurs in form of crystals. The compound crystallises in a monoclinic crystal system with molecular SnBr4 units that have distorted tetrahedral geometry,[2] with mean Sn-Br bond lengths of 242.3 pm.[3]

Preparation

SnBr4 can be prepared by reaction of the elements at standard temperature and pressure (STP):[4][page needed]

Sn + 2Br
2 → SnBr
4

Dissolution in solvents

In aqueous solution Sn(H2O)64+[contradictory] is the principal ionic species amongst a range of 6 coordinate ions with from 0-6 bromide ligands (e.g. Sn(H2O)64+, SnBr(H2O)53+). In basic solution the Sn(OH)62− ion is present.[5]

Reactions

SnBr4 forms 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with ligands, e.g. with trimethylphosphine the following can be produced, SnBr4.P(CH3)3 and SnBr4.2P(CH3)3.[6]
