Di-tert-butyl-tin(IV)-hydroxide-iodide, ^t Bu₂Sn(OH)I, the last missing member in the series of pure di-tert-butyl-tin(IV)-hydroxide-halides.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of di-tert-butyl-hydroxido-iodido-tin(IV), [Sn(C₄H₉)₂I(OH)] or ^t Bu₂Sn(OH)I, consists of dimeric, centrosymmetric mol-ecules exhibiting the typical structural features of diorganotin(IV)-hydroxide-halides, R ₂Sn(OH)Hal. Two trigonal-bipyramidally coordinated tin(IV) atoms are bridged via two hydroxyl groups, resulting in a planar, four-membered {Sn-O}₂ ring of rhombic shape, with acute angles at tin, obtuse angles at oxygen and two different Sn-O distances depending whether the oxygen atom adopts an axial or equatorial position at the tin(IV) atom. In contrast to its fluorine, chlorine and bromine homologues, no hydrogen bonds between the OH group and the ha
