The title compound, Li2[Sn(OH)6]·2H2O, is dimorphic. As for the previously described α-modification, the title β-modification crystallizes in the monoclinic system and contains the same primary building units, viz [Sn(OH)6](2-) octa-hedra and [Li(μ2-OH)3(H2O)] tetra-hedra. In contrast to the Sn-O bond lengths that are very similar in both modifications, the Li-O bond lengths differ significantly, in particular those involving the water mol-ecule. In the new β-modification, the primary building u ...[more]
