Room-Temperature Synthesis of [BMIm][Sn₅O₂Cl₇] with _∞¹(Sn₂OCl₂) Strands in a Saline [BMIm][SnCl₃] Matrix.

ABSTRACT: The novel tin(II) oxychloride [BMIm][Sn₅O₂Cl₇] (BMIm = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) is obtained by the room-temperature reaction (25 °C) of black SnO and SnCl₂ in [BMIm]Cl/SnCl₂ as an ionic liquid. The title compound can be described as composed of noncharged, infinite _∞¹(Sn₂OCl₂) strands that are embedded in a saline matrix of [BMIm]⁺ and [SnCl₃]^-. The _∞¹(Sn₂OCl₂) strands consist of a backbone of edge-sharing OSn_4/2 tetrahedra, which represent one-dimensional (1D) strands cut out of the layer-type structure of SnO. In [BMIm][Sn₅O₂Cl₇], the _∞¹(Sn₂
