Abstract: The title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₃(C₁₅H₉Cl₂O₂)]_n, forms polymeric chains involving both O atoms of the carboxylate group. The coordination geometry around the Sn atom is distorted trigonal-bipyramidal. The three methyl C atoms occupy the equatorial positions, with Sn-C distances of 2.113  (3)-2.124  (2)  Å, and two O atoms, including one from a symmetry-related molecule, are at the axial positions, with Sn-O distances of 2.152  (2) and 2.454  (2)  Å.
