The temperature dependence of the Moessbauer effect has been measured at /sup 119/Sn sites in oxygen-free, SnMo/sub 6/S/sub 8/ (T/sub c/ = 14.2K) and in oxygen substituted SnMo/sub 6/S/sub 7/ /sub 8/O/sub 0/ /sub 2/ (T/sub c/ = 10.1K). The temperature dependence of the asymmetry of the quadrupole doublet for SnMo/sub 6/S/sub 8/ shows phonon anomalies near 50 and 120K. /sub T/ indicates contraction with increasing temperature between 4.3 and 50K. For the oxygen substituted compound a study of the variation of mean square displacement with temperature shows lattice softening near 120K.
