I do an experiment that use high temperature above 600 degrees Celsius and I want to use the Tin (II) Chloride as a precursor for the resultant product, so I searched a lot for dissolving this compound like use of ethanol, but this solvent is not appropriate for my experiments.
So, I want anyone give me an example for a nonflammable solvent for Tin (II) Chloride.
If you want to work in liquid phase at or above 600 degC I don't think there's any organic solvent you can use.
It looks to me like you'll need to use a molten salt system. Depending on what you're trying to do, zinc chloride or eutectic MgCl2-KCl are possibilities. LiCl-based eutectic systems can work too (slightly lower melting than MgCl2 systems, more expensive though). It will be very important to work under high purity inert gas in order to prevent oxidation of Sn(II) and hydrolysis of SnCl2, ZnCl2, MgCl2.
Thank you Dr. Emanuel Cooper for your answer. I will try it, and I will let know with the updates.
SnCl2 (stannous chloride) is soluble in (e.g.) acetone, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, formic acid, glacial acetic acid, isoamyl acetate, isobutyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, methanol, methyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, pyridine.
