Stannane /ˈstæneɪn/ is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula SnH
4. It is a colourless gas. Stannane can be prepared by the reaction of SnCl4 and LiAlH4.[1] Stannane decomposes slowly at room temperature to give metallic tin and hydrogen and ignites on contact with air.[1]
Variants of stannane can be found as a highly toxic, gaseous, inorganic metal hydride. Stannane is an analogue of methane.
