This substance has very little info about it on the web, but from what I have found it seems to be quite energetic and detonates into a shower of
sparks. The anhydrous form quickly transforms into the hydrate Sn(NO3)2.20H2O
This compound is either prepared by the displacement reaction between Tin metal and Copper nitrate (Sn+Cu(NO3)2 --> Sn(NO3)2+Cu) or dissolving Tin
in weak nitric acid.
(Sn+HNO3 --> Sn(NO3)2)
This compound seems surprisingly simple to synthesize. Which brings me to my question, does the salt have to be converted to the basic form
Sn3(OH)4(NO3)2 to be usable? or is it fine without being in basic form?

There is an existing thread on this, which might help.
