SnI4 is Silicon tetrafluoride-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight tin(iv) iodide molecules. Sn(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one I(1) and three equivalent I(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the second I site, I(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom.

Sn(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one I(1) and three equivalent I(2) atoms. The Sn(1)-I(1) bond length is 2.69 Å. All Sn(1)-I(2) bond lengths are 2.69 Å. There are two inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the second I site, I(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom.
