Abstract: In the title compound, catena-poly[[dibenzyldichloridotin(IV)]--1,4-bis(pyridin-3-ylmethoxy)benzene], [SnCl₂(C₇H₇)₂(C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₂)]_n, the dibenzyldichlorostannane molecules are linked by the neutral 1,4-bis(pyridin-3-ylmethoxy)benzene ligands to generate an infinite coordination polymer. Both the Sn atom and the linking ligand reside on centers of inversion. The Sn atom displays a distorted octahedral geometry that consists of two benzyl groups, two chloride ions and two N atoms from different 1,4-bis(pyridin-3-ylmethoxy)benzene ligands.
