It has been observed that Sn/sup +/ centers in KCL give electron-spin-resonance signals. A theoretical model of the orbital structure of the SnCl/sub 2/ /sup -/ complex is developed to interpret the experimental data. The molecular model involves a certain number of parameters with which the data on Zeeman splitting and hyperfine structure can be reproduced. In order to verify some of the aspects of the semiempirical model, relativistic Dirac-Slater molecular-orbital calculations are performed for an SnCl/sub 2/ /sup -/ complex with four secondary ligands in the equatorial plane, represented by a perturbing-point-ion model.
