Vibrational and Mössbauer spectra of some hexachloro- and hexafluorostannate complexes

Abstract

119Sn Mössbauer and vibrational spectra for a number of SnF62− and SnCl62− complexes have been obtained. One fundamental for the SnF62− ion has been reassigned. Strong evidence for anion–cation interaction for (ClO2)2SnF6 is obtained both from the vibrational spectra and from the Mössbauer spectra where a non-zero quadrupole splitting is found.
