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, KSnF3, 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.
