Calcium hexakis(dihydrogenphosphito)stannate(IV), Ca[Sn(H2PO2)6], with some remarks on the so-called Ge2(H2PO2)6 structure type

The title compound, Ca[Sn(H2PO2)6], was formed after a few days when tin(II) fluoride was allowed to react with phosphinic acid at ambient conditions. The structure consists of chains of Ca2+ and Sn4+ cations in octahedral sites with -3 symmetry bridged by bidentate hypophosphite anions. The chains...
