Tin(II) hydroxide, Sn(OH)2, also known as stannous hydroxide, is a chemical compound of tin in the +2 oxidation state. Pure Sn(OH)2 is prepared by reacting for example (CH3)3SnOH with SnCl2 in an aprotic solvent:[2]
- 2 Me3SnOH + SnCl2 → Sn(OH)2 + 2 Me3SnCl
There had been confusion as it had been believed that Sn(OH)2 was precipitated when a tin(II) salt is reacted with an alkali hydroxide such as NaOH, but this product was determined analytically to be hydrated tin(II) oxide, being either 5 SnO • 2 H2O or 3 SnO • H2O.[3] The structure of pure Sn(OH)2 is not known.[2]
Stannous hydroxide is easily oxidized to stannic acid (SnO2) by air since tin is often found in oxidation state +4.
