Abstract

The 119Sn Mössbauer data and electronic reflectance spectra of the cubic caesium tin(II) halides CsSn Br3 –xClx(x= 0–3) and their behaviour on heating suggest that the non-bonding tin(II) electrons may be involved in a band structure rather than being located in non-bonding molecular orbitals in these materials.
