Abstract: The chelate Sn-O-C-N-N-C-C-N fragment, together with the substituent methyl C atom, in the title complex, [SnCl₂(CH₃)(C₁₄H₁₂N₃O)], is planar, allowing the tridentate O,N,N-donor atoms and the methyl ligand C atom to occupy the equatorial positions in an octahedral environment. The geometry of the Sn atom is distorted octahedral, with a Cl-Sn-Cl axial bond angle of 172.02  (3)°.
