Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₃(C₁₅H₁₀ClO₂)]_n, contains polymeric chains along the b axis. The geometry around the Sn atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal, wherein three methyl groups are bonded to the Sn atom at equatorial positions with essentially identical bond distances [mean Sn-C = 2.119  (6)  Å] and two O atoms of the carboxylate ligand are bonded asymmetrically with significantly different Sn-O distances of 2.159  (2) and 2.351  (2)  Å.
