A number of phases have been produced by hydrothermal crystallizations from M O-SiO SnO ~H O gels or solutions. The products of such syntheses are frequently multiphasic, complicating attempts at composition and structure definition. Preliminary microcrystal diffraction experiments using synchrotron X-rays and quantitative treatment of in-house powder X-ray diffraction data have enabled phase identification and facilitated the isolation of two largely phase-pure materials. Infrared spectroscopy and solid state Si and Sn nmr are consistent with the presence of octahedrally coordinated tin and tetrahedrally coordinated silicon in these phases. 2
