151Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy was performed with tin triflate Sn(OTf)2 in order to determine its Mösbauer parameters for analytical purposes. The typical Mössbauer parameters at 80 K for crystalline Sn(OTf)2 are IS=4.01±0.02 mm/s and QS=1.20±0.04 mm/s and show that the stannous ion is at a site with less than cubic symmetry under perturbation of the crystal field effect.
