Stannite (ion)

Last updated

The stannite ion is [Sn(OH)3]−. It can be formed by adding strong base to stannous hydroxide. [1] The stannite ion is a strong reducing agent; [2] also, it may disproportionate to tin metal plus stannate ion. [3]

There are stannite compounds, for example, sodium stannite, Na2SnO2.
