Tin iodide (SnI4)

Description:

Tin iodide (SnI4) is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black crystalline appearance. It is formed by the reaction of tin with iodine and is known for its high reactivity, particularly in the presence of moisture, which can lead to hydrolysis. SnI4 is a covalent compound, exhibiting a tetrahedral molecular geometry due to the four iodine atoms surrounding the tin atom. It is soluble in organic solvents such as carbon disulfide and chloroform but has limited solubility in water. The compound is primarily used in organic synthesis and as a precursor for tin-based materials in various applications, including electronics and photovoltaics. Additionally, tin iodide can exhibit interesting optical properties, making it a subject of research in photonic applications. Due to its reactivity and potential toxicity, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling SnI4, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area.
