Current technological advances require that the raw materials used in the production of electric devices and structural materials present special characteristics of chemical purity, size distribution and morphology of the particles. Tin oxides are mainly used as gas sensor and as surges suppressor (varistor). To achieve an appropriate control on the mentioned characteristics, we use the method of controlled precipitation (MPC), which allowed us to obtain certain characteristics in other oxides. When using the MPC, it is necessary to determine the complexes that are formed and their nature. In this work we present results of study on the formation of complexes in the system SnCl2 - NH4OH - H2O. To study the system during the constant addition of the base (NH4OH) to the solution of tin salt, we used potentiometric and conductimetric titration. For the determination of the nature of the formed tin complexes, the solid phase was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) while the liquid phase was analyzed by UV-visible and infrared spectroscopies.
