Other compounds with this structure
GeF$_{2}$, $\gamma$-TeO$_{2}$
- SnF$_{2}$ is found in three structures:
- monoclinic $\alpha$–SnF$_{2}$, the ground state
- orthorhombic $\beta$–SnF$_{2}$ (this structure), formed from $\gamma$–SnF$_{2}$ on cooling below 67°C, and
- tetragonal $\gamma$–SnF$_{2}$, produced by heating $\alpha$–SnF$_{2}$ above 180°C, forming in the tellurite ($\beta$–TeO$_{2}$) structure.
- Data for $\beta$–SnF$_{2}$ was taken at room temperature.
- Low-temperature Naumannite (AgO$_{2}$ II) and $\beta$–SnF$_{2}$ have the same AFLOW prototype label, A2B_oP12_19_2a_a. They are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (
--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
