Abstract: In the title compound, [SnCl₂(C₁₉H₂₂N₂O)]·CHCl₃, the deprotonated N-(2-aminocyclohexyl)salicylaldimine Schiff base chelates in an O,N,N'-tridentate manner to the Sn atom. The octahedral tin coordination environment is completed by a phenyl ring and two chloride ions; the bonded C atom of the phenyl ring along with the three chelating atoms comprise an approximate square plane. The molecules of the complex are linked by N-HO and N-HCl hydrogen bonds to form a helical chain running along the b axis; the solvent molecules occupy the space between the chains but are not hydrogen bonded to them.
