The Cover Feature shows four types of heptacoordinate structures for organotin halides with three phosphine donors. Introduction of a different halogen at the tin center significantly influences the heptacoordinate geometry in the solid state. The difference in electronegativity of the halogen atoms appears to contribute to the structural modification, because a strongly electronegative halogen facilitates the formation of a structure that is highly distorted with respect to the tetrahedral geometry (Bent's rule).
