Abstract—Polycrystalline potassium hexahydroperoxostannate was prepared by replacement of hydroxo
groups in potassium hexahydroxostannate upon its dissolution in hydrogen peroxide. A comparative study of
the product and the starting hydroxostannate by powder X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetry, and IR,
²H, ³⁹K, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopy was carried out. The peroxo compound K₂Sn(OOH)₆
crystallizes in the hexagonal system with a = 7.264(7) Å, c = 10.168(4) Å. IR, NMR, and Mössbauer spectros-
copy data show that the tin coordination polyhedron in the peroxo compound is an octahedron formed by the
coordinated hydroperoxo groups.
