SnI2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SnI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. I(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sn(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°. There are two shorter (3.17 Å) and four longer (3.18 Å) Sn(1)-I(1) bond lengths. I(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
