, I'm currently studying Chemistry at University and I think I can help you.
SnI4 is a nonpolar compound. It is nonpolar because of the tetrahedric structure (similar to CCl4). As such, its soluble in nonpolar solvents such as hexane. Its a little soluble in dichloromethane, since its polarity is only moderate. Its not soluble at all in water. To be more specific, it actually hydrolises completely and readily if water is present, even in the air, and forms SnO2 which is also insoluble in water.
During the synthesis of this compound, extreme care is taken so that there is no contact of the product with water.
Dichloromethane, due to the slight solubility, can be used as a solvent for recrystalization of the compound, for its solubility increases with an increment in temperature.
So the answer is: its soluble in hexane, moderately in dichloromethane, and not at all in water (even hydrolyses readily).
Hope that helps,

How can stannous iodide be converted to stannic iodide?
By the use of an oxidizing agent such as a mixture of Oxygen and Water6 SnI2 + O2 + 2 H2O ----> 2 SnI4 + 4 Sn(OH)I
Is SnI4 soluble in KI solution?
Hi, having a solution of KI implies having H20 so tin iodide will hydrolyze forming the tin oxide and HI. Another interesting reaction is when you add KI (in solid phase) into tin iodide solution (dissolved in acetone). You will obtain a salt like this: K(SnI5) I hope I helped you. Note that this answer could be wrong, I'm currently a student of chemistry and I have a lot to learn yet.
