Tin(IV) bromide is the chemical compound SnBr4. It is a colourless low melting solid. SnBr4 can be prepared by reaction of the elements at normal temperatures:Sn + 2Br2 → SnBr4In aqueous solution Sn(H2O)64+ is the principal ionic species amongst a range of 6 coordinate ions with from 0-6 bromide ligands (e.g. Sn(H2O)64+ SnBr(H2O)53+) In basic solution the Sn(OH)62− ion is present.SnBr4 forms 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with ligands e.g.
