We studied chemical interaction of Sn with H by X-ray diffraction methods at pressures of 180-210 GPa. A previously unknown tetrahydride SnH with a cubic structure () exhibiting superconducting properties below = 72 K was obtained; the formation of a high molecular -SnH superhydride and several lower hydrides, SnH and -SnH, was also detected. The temperature dependence of critical current density (T) in SnH yields the superconducting gap 2(0) = 23 meV at 180 GPa. SnH has unusual behavior in strong magnetic fields: -linear dependences of magnetoresistance and the upper critical magnetic field (T) ( - ). The latter contradicts the Wertheimer-Helfand-Hohenberg model developed for conventional superconductors. Along with this, the temperature dependence of electrical resistance of SnH in non-superconducting state exhibits a deviation from what is expected for phonon-mediated scattering described by the Bloch-Grüneisen model, and is beyond the framework of the Fermi liquid theory. Such anomalies occur for many superhydrides, making them much closer to cuprates than previously believed.
