5The structure of tin(II) hydroxido complex forming in hyperalkaline aqueous solutions (0.2 C NaOH 12 mol⋅dm -3 ) has been determined by EXAFS, Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy, and the general composition by potentiometric titrations. Experimental work was supplemented by computational means.
10The mean Sn-O distance in the non-linear complex is remarkably short, 2.078 Å. From single crystal X-ray data of O-coordinated Sn(II) compounds, for the given coordination numbers of N = 2 and 3, the bond distances were found to cover a relatively wide range (much wider than normal). The experimentally
