Materials Data on Sn by Materials Project

Sn is Clathrate structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded to four Sn atoms to form corner-sharing SnSn4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Sn–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.86–2.90 Å. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded to four equivalent Sn atoms to form corner-sharing SnSn4 tetrahedra. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded to four Sn atoms to form corner-sharing SnSn4 tetrahedra. The Sn–Sn bond length is 2.85 Å.
