CN2SnI3 is High-temperature superconductor-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. The structure consists of eight cyanamide molecules inside a SnI3 framework. In the SnI3 framework, Sn(1) is bonded to one I(2), one I(3), one I(4), one I(5), and two equivalent I(1) atoms to form corner-sharing SnI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 2-16°. There are five inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second I site, I(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the third I site, I(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the fourth I site, I(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the fifth I site, I(5) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
