Area of Science:

  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Crystallography
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Understanding the crystal structure of novel inorganic compounds is crucial for developing new materials.
  • Hydrothermal synthesis offers a versatile route for preparing crystalline inorganic materials under moderate conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the crystal structure of hydrothermally prepared dilithium tin hexahydroxide.
  • To characterize the coordination environment of tin and lithium atoms within the framework.

Main Methods:

  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the crystal structure.
  • The crystal system and space group were identified as monoclinic (P2(1)/n).

Main Results:

  • Dilithium tin hexahydroxide crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n.
  • The tin atom is coordinated by six hydroxide groups, forming an octahedral polyhedron.
  • Lithium atoms exhibit tetrahedral coordination with oxygen, with shared corners and edges between Li tetrahedra and Sn octahedra.

Conclusions:

  • The detailed crystal structure provides a foundation for understanding the properties of dilithium tin hexahydroxide.
  • The interconnected network of tin octahedra and lithium tetrahedra, stabilized by hydrogen bonds, suggests potential applications in materials science.
