Abstract
DURING the 170 years since the preparations of stannous and stannic oxides were first reported1,2, many authors have claimed to have shown the existence of oxides of tin the compositions of which were intermediate between the two. Included in the most recent of these are the papers by Spandau and Kohlmeyer3 and Spinedi and Gauzzi4, who report Sn3O4, and Decroly and Ghodsi5, who contend that Sn5O6 is formed. No data concerning the crystal structure of the intermediate oxides have so far been given.
