Abstract: The title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₃(C₁₆H₁₂ClO₃)]_n, forms polymeric chains incorporating both O atoms of the propenoate ligand. The coordination geometry around the Sn atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal. The three methyl C atoms occupy the equatorial positions with almost identical Sn-C distances [2.115  (3)-2.120  (3)  Å] and O atoms from two symmetry-related ligands are in the axial positions with significantly different Sn-O distances [2.150  (2) and 2.430  (2)  Å].
