Stannite (ion)
(Redirected from Sodium stannite)
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.
