In the title compound, [Sn(C7H14O5P)(C6H5)3], the planar triphenyltin cations are axially bridged through the carboxyl and phosphoryl O atoms of the 3-(diethylphosphono)propionate anions into zigzag chains that run parallel to the c axis {i.e. catena-poly[triphenyltin-μ-3(diethylphosphono)propionato-O:OP = O]}.
