The structure of lead (II) tetrafluorostannate (II) (PbSnF4) prepared by hydrothermal synthesis was determined. The parameters of the orthorhombic unit cell are a = 22.845 (2) A ̊, b = 5.850 (2) A ̊, c = 6.021 (2) A ̊, V = 804.6(6) Å3, ρcalc. = 6.63g cm3, z = 8, space group Aba2. The high F- mobility in this compound was found to be correlated to the possibility for tin atoms to have two alternative fluoride ions coordinations, and/or to the great number of partially occupied F sites.
