Abstract: The title compound, [Sn(C₄H₉)₃(C₂H₃O₂)]_n, forms characteristic polymeric chains, in which Sn atoms are bridged by acetate groups, bonding through both O atoms. The coordination geometry of the Sn atom is slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal. The butyl groups occupy the equatorial positions, with Sn-C bond lengths in the range 2.115 (10)-2.129 (9) Å, while the axial Sn-O bond lengths are 2.178 (5) and 2.422 (5) Å.
