The title compound, [SnCl(C7H7O)3], crystallizes in the trigonal space group, R3, with completely symmetric molecules, the Sn-Cl bond lying along the threefold axis. In contrast to the methyl analogue, the meta-CH3O groups are distal, i.e. they are towards the Sn-Cl bond, coplanar with the phenyl rings and the methyl group itself lies over the ortho-C atom of the ring.
