In chemistry, the term stannate or tinnate refers to compounds of
tin (Sn).
Stannic acid (Sn(OH)4), the formal precursor to stannates, does not exist and is actually a hydrate of
SnO2.
[1] The term is also used in naming conventions as a suffix; for example the hexachlorostannate ion is SnCl2−
6.
In materials science, two kinds of tin oxyanions are distinguished:
These materials are semiconductors. [2]
