ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 34 democracies work together to
address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the
forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns,
such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population.
The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers
to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international
policies.
The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel,
Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the
Republic of Korea, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United
Kingdom and the United States. The European Commission takes part in the work of the OECD.
OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation’s statistics gathering and
research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and
standards agreed by its members.
This work is published on the responsibility of the OECD Secretary-General.
The opinions expressed and arguments employed herein do not necessarily reflect the official
views of the Organisation or of the governments of its member countries.
NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) was established on 1 February 1958. Current NEA
membership consists of 30 OECD member countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan,
Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Korea, the Slovak
Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The European Commission also takes part in the work of the Agency.
The mission of the NEA is:
– to assist its member countries in maintaining and further developing, through international
co-operation, the scientific, technological and legal bases required for a safe,
environmentally friendly and economical use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, as
well as
– to provide authoritative assessments and to forge common understandings on key issues, as
input to government decisions on nuclear energy policy and to broader OECD policy
analyses in areas such as energy and sustainable development.
Specific areas of competence of the NEA include the safety and regulation of nuclear activities,
radioactive waste management, radiological protection, nuclear science, economic and technical
analyses of the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear law and liability, and public information.
The NEA Data Bank provides nuclear data and computer program services for participating
countries. In these and related tasks, the NEA works in close collaboration with the International
Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, with which it has a Co-operation Agreement, as well as with other
international organisations in the nuclear field.

Preface

This volume is the 12th in the “Chemical Thermodynamics” series edited and produced
by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). It is a critical review of the
thermodynamic properties of tin, its compounds and aqueous complexes, initiated by
the Management Board of the NEA Thermochemical Database Project Phase III (NEA
TDB III). The European members of the TDB Sn Review Team − Wolfgang Voigt
(Freiberg University of Mining and Technology, Germany), Tamás Gajda (University
of Szeged, Hungary) and Heinz Gamsjäger as Chairman (Montanuniversität Leoben,
Austria) − first met at the NEA in Issy-les-Moulineaux (France) in September 2004. The
overseas members − Surendra K. Saxena (Florida International University, Miami,
United States) and James Sangster (Sangster Research Laboratories, Montreal, Canada)
participated in this kickoff meeting via phone and video link. Four subsequent plenary
meetings took place at the NEA in March 2005, October 2005, March 2006 and October
2006. The latter was held in conjunction with the TDB III Executive Group Meeting on
25 October and the TDB III Management Board Meeting on 26-27 October 2006. In
these meetings the Review Team reported that key values on Sn4+ formation and the
redox couple Sn4+/Sn2+ were lacking. Moreover, essential formation data on Sn(IV)
chlorido and hydroxido complexes were also lacking. Therefore the Review Team
submitted a proposal to the Management Board requesting to fund an experimental
programme to obtain values for the most important critical data, while the already
completed sections dealing with solids and gases were sent to peer review. The
Management Board agreed and the experimental investigation was carried out under the
leadership of Tamás Gajda at the University of Szeged Department of Inorganic and
Analytical Chemistry. From 7 to 10 August 2008 the solution chemistry group
comprising Wolfgang Voigt, Tamás Gajda and Heinz Gamsjäger met at
Montanuniversität Leoben to include the results of the experimental study in the tin
draft. The publication of these results, mandatory by NEA standards for including new
data in chemical thermodynamics volumes, appeared in 2009. Heinz Gamsjäger
presented these results at the meeting of the TDB IV Executive Group on 19 May 2010
in Karlsruhe.
Hans Wanner participated in meetings of the Review Team as the designated
member of the Executive Group until he retired from this position in 2007. At the NEA
Data Bank the responsibility for the overall co-ordination of the project was placed with
Federico Mompean (from its initiation in 2004 to 2007), with Mireille Defranceschi
(2008 to 2010) and Jane Perrone (2011). Jane Perrone was in charge of the preparation

of the successive drafts, updating the NEA Thermodynamic Database and editing the
book in its present final form.
Primary responsibility for the different chapters was divided as follows. James
Sangster and Surendra Saxena assessed the thermodynamic properties of solid and
gaseous compounds, while Wolfgang Voigt, Tamás Gajda and Heinz Gamsjäger were
in charge of the aqueous chemistry. Surendra Saxena drafted the sections on solid
oxides, hydrides, halides, pnictides and selected minerals. James Sangster prepared the
sections on elemental tin, gaseous compounds of all groups and solid compounds not
treated by Surendra Saxena. Tamás Gajda drafted the sections on hydrolysis of Sn(II)
and Sn(IV) and the sections on aqueous Sn(II) and Sn(IV) complexes. Wolfgang Voigt
prepared the sections on solubilities of all groups. The chairman drafted the sections on
simple aqua ions and those on solubilities of Sn(II) as well as Sn(IV) oxides and
hydroxides. The key values for Sn(IV) which were lacking prompted close co-operation
of the solution chemistry group. This contributed favourably to the final solution of the
problem and to the quality of the solution chemistry section.
It is worth noting that the selection of key values, e.g., for Sn2+, revealed gaps
in our knowledge which may stimulate rewarding projects on the experimental
thermodynamics of tin compounds.
