Abstract

Donaldson and Moser1 have shown that there is only one stable solid tin(II) hydroxide, a unique crystalline phase quite distinct from other tin(II) oxides, which can be described as a hydrous oxide or oxy-hydroxide. The formula of the finely divided material was determined analytically as 5SnO.2H2O, but analytical results on a fine powder of large surface area cannot distinguish between this formula and the alternative 3SnO.H2O, which differs by only one molecule of water per fifteen formula units of tin(II) oxide.
