Abstract
The molecular structure of tin tetrachloride was determined by the sector-microphotometer method of gas-electron diffraction. By taking into account the phase-shift for the Sn-Cl pair, the following results were obtained: the tetrahedral structure with rg(Sn–Cl)=2.2808±0.0037 A, l(Sn–Cl)=0.0499±0.0033 A, and l(Cl···Cl)=0.1086±0.0050 A. These values, especially that of the mean amplitude, l(Sn–Cl), are different from those previously reported by other workers. This is because the effect of the phase shift was neglected in the previous investigations.
