Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, (C₆H₁₆N)[SnCl₂(CH₃)(C₅H₆O₄)], is composed of strongly hydrogen-bonded pairs of anions and cations. The metal centre exhibits a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, with inequivalent Sn-Cl distances of 2.5252  (4) and 2.3954  (4)  Å, identical Sn-C distances within 3 limits [mean 2.107  (3)  Å] and an Sn-O distance of 2.3077  (13)  Å. The carboxyacrylate ligand forms an essentially planar seven-membered ring involving an intramolecular hydrogen bond.
