SnH8(CI)4 is Protactinium structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two stannane, tetrakis(iodomethyl)- molecules. Sn(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sn(1), one H(1), one H(2), and one I(1) atom. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. I(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom.
