Abstract
Temperature-dependent Mössbauer experiments have been carried out to examine the lattice-dynamic properties of tin atoms in complexes of the type (n-C n H2n+1NH3)2SnCl6 (6 ≤n≤ 12). The temperature dependence of the area intensity of Mössbauer lines for the studied complexes are correlated to the motion of long alkyl chains. Solid-solid phase transitions were clearly found in all the complexes above room temperature, accompanied by an increase in the interlayer spacing (6≤n≤ 18). The transition temperature and transition entropy increase linearly with the number of carbon atoms in alkyl chains.
