metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Sn(CH3)3(C8H5Cl2O2)]n, forms polymeric chains involving both O atoms of the carboxylate group. The coordination geometry of the Sn atom is slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal. The three methyl groups occupy the equatorial positions, with Sn—C bond lengths in the range 2.103 (8)–2.118 (7) Å. The two O atoms are situated in the axial positions, with Sn—O distances of 2.189 (4) Å and 2.369 (5) Å.
