Abstract
The structure of chlorotrimethylstannane was studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy in solids, frozen solution, and argon matrices at low temperatures. In frozen solutions, quadrupole splitting was very similar to the value in solid phase, and strong intermolecular interaction may exist between Sn/CH3/3Cl and solvent molecules. In argon matrices, the quadrupole splitting of Sn/CH3/3Cl was much smaller. Comparison of the observed quadrupole splitting with the predicted value based on the point charge model suggests that the Sn/CH3/3Cl molecule may have a tetrahedral structure and be isolated well from each other in the argon matrix.
