Abstract
The thermal analyses of hexahydroxystannates of bivalent metals of the type Me[Sn(OH)6], where Me = Zn, Co, Cu, Ni, Mn, Ca, Mg, Cd, Sr, reveal that the primary mode of decomposition occurs by dehydroxylation and subsequent decomposition of the metastannate residue occurs in the Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, and Mg compounds. Calorimetric measurements along with related enthalpic values for the decomposition reaction are given. The kinetics of thermal decomposition of all compounds studied, except the Cd and Mg analogues, follow first order reaction kinetics up to α ~ 0.9.
