Abstract

A family of alkali metal tin(II) fluorides, ASnF₃ (A=Na ⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, or Cs⁺), has been synthesized through a low temperature solvothermal technique. A fluorine free solvent, methanol, was used in the synthesis. NaSnF₃, KSnF ₃, and RbSnF₃ have been reported previously; however for RbSnF₃ the reported space group is incorrect. CsSnF₃ is a new alkali tin(II) fluoride, and exhibits a 'zero-dimensional' crystal structure with isolated SnF₃^- anions separated by Cs⁺ cations. In addition to the synthesis, infrared, UV-vis, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis measurements were performed.
