Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₃(C₁₅H₁₅O₂)], is composed of polymeric chains of monomers, linked by secondary coordinating bonds from the O atoms of the hydroxyl group to the Sn atoms, with an SnO distance of 2.646 (2) Å. This additional bond leads to a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry around the Sn atom, with three methyl C atoms in equatorial and two O atoms in axial positions.
