The octahedral Sn atom in the title complex, [SnCl3(C7H7)(C12H8N2)].C6H6, is coordinated by one C, three Cl and two N atoms such that the two N atoms occupy positions trans to two of the Cl atoms, leaving one Cl atom trans to the C atom. This has the result that there are two classes of Sn-Cl interaction.
