In the structure of the hydrated title salt, (C4H7N2)2[Sn(C2O4)2(OH)2]·H2O, the asymmetric unit comprises one stannate(IV) dianion, two organic cations and one water mol-ecule of crystallization. The [Sn(C2O4)2(OH)2](2-) dianion consists of an Sn(IV) atom chelated by two oxalate anions and coordinated by two OH(-) ligands in a cis octa-hedral arrangement. Neighbouring anions are connected throu...

The first charge-neutral Lewis base adducts of tin(IV) tetraazide, [Sn(N3)4(bpy)], [Sn(N3)4(phen)] and [Sn(N3)4(py)2], and the salt bis{bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium} hexa(azido)stannate [(PPN)2Sn(N3)6] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; py = pyridine; PPN = N(PPh3)2) have been prepared using covalent or ionic azide-transfer reagents and ligand-exchange reactions. The azides w...

We have studied the growth of epitaxial films stannate pyrochlores with a general formula A2Sn2O7 (A = La and Y) find that it is possible to incorporate ∼25% excess A-site constituent; in contrast, any tin expelled. unravel defect chemistry, allowing for incorporation species mechanism behind expulsion. An surplus manifested by shift film diffraction peaks, expulsion apparent from surface morph...
