Tin(IV) acetate can be
refluxed by
thallium acetate and
tin(IV) iodide in
acetic anhydride. After the reaction is completed, the solution is concentrated and cooled to precipitate crystals, which are washed with anhydrous
ether and dried in vacuum: : The reaction of
tin(IV) nitrate with acetic acid and acetic anhydride can also produce tin(IV) acetate, but the reaction with
trifluoroacetic anhydride can not get its analogue, but (
nitronium hexaacetatotin(IV)). : == Properties ==
