· Sn2 H16 C8 I8

Sn₂H₁₆C₈I₈ is an organotin halide compound—a hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductor containing tin, carbon, hydrogen, and iodine. This material belongs to the broader class of perovskite-like and tin-halide semiconductors currently under investigation for optoelectronic applications; it is primarily a research compound rather than a mature commercial material. The tin-halide family is notable for its potential in photovoltaic devices, light-emitting applications, and thin-film electronics as a lead-free alternative to more toxic semiconductors, though optimization of stability and processing remains an active area of development.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
