Thin layers of tin acetyl acetonate (SnAcAc) were deposited by the laser ablation deposition (LAD) method onto potassium bromide tablets. FTIR and X‐ray photoelectronspectroscopy (XPS) spectra of these layers were investigated to describe changes in chemical composition during the deposition and following a thermal activation process. The main interest was focused on the formation of systems containing conjugated double bonds, tin dioxide (SnO 2 ), tin suboxides (SnO x ; x < 2), and salts (especially carboxylates). These phases play an important role in the use of LAD‐deposited acetyl acetonates as active layers of chemical sensors. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 74: 1614–1622, 1999
