Tin tetrachloride

Description:
Tin tetrachloride, also known as stannic chloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula SnCl4. It is a colorless, volatile liquid at room temperature, characterized by its strong, pungent odor. Tin tetrachloride is highly soluble in organic solvents and reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and tin oxide, making it a strong Lewis acid. It has a tetrahedral molecular geometry, with tin at the center surrounded by four chlorine atoms. This compound is primarily used in the production of organotin compounds, as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, and in the synthesis of other tin-based materials. Due to its corrosive nature, it poses health hazards, including respiratory irritation and skin burns upon contact. Proper handling and storage in a controlled environment are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use. Additionally, tin tetrachloride can form complexes with various ligands, further expanding its utility in coordination chemistry.
