The tin(II) halides are important in a number of industrial processes and technological devices, for example, in the chemical vapor deposition of tin(IV) oxide films for the semiconductor industry, in the production of catalysts, and as a method of refining the spectral output of high intensity discharge lamps. Modeling of such processes requires databases of reliable, self-consistent thermochemical parameters. A survey of the physicochemical properties and appropriate standard thermochemical data has been made for the tin(II) halides, SnXX′ (X, X′ = Cl, Br, I), and a self-consistent set of thermochemical parameters are selected for the solid, liquid, and gas phases of these materials. In a few cases where data are simply unavailable, data are derived using a variety of estimation techniques. The benchmark employed to select the parameters in this work is that they accurately predict experimental vapor pressures where these are available. Finally, estimation techniques (
