Barium stannate (BSO)[1] is an oxide of barium and tin with the chemical formula BaSnO3. It is a wide band gap semiconductor with a perovskite crystal structure.[2][3][4] A trihydrate exists and is used in the production of ceramic insulation requiring dielectric properties.[5]

Preparation

Polycrystalline barium stannate can be prepared by a solid state reaction between barium carbonate and tin(IV) oxide.[6]
