Abstract: The title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₃(C₁₀H₆NO₂)]_n, forms an extended one-dimensional chain structure. There are two independent Sn^IV ions, both of which are in slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environments with two symmetry-related O atoms in the axial sites. In each case, the Sn^IV ion and one of the three equatorial C atoms lie on a crystallographic twofold axis.
