Sodium stannate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2Sn(OH)6. This colourless salt forms upon dissolving tin or tin dioxide in sodium hydroxide. Sodium stannate is used as a stabiliser for hydrogen peroxide.[2]

Alkali metal stannate compounds are prepared by dissolving tin in sodium hydroxide:[3]

Sn + 2 NaOH + 4 H2O → Na2[Sn(OH)6] + 2 H2

A similar reaction occurs when tin dioxide is dissolved in base:

SnO2 + 2 NaOH + 2 H2O → Na2[Sn(OH)6]

The anion is octahedral as are most stannates, e.g., the hexachlorostannate anion [SnCl6]2−. The Sn-O distances average 2.071 Å.[4] In some old literature, stannates are sometimes represented as the simple oxyanion SnO32−.
