In the molecule of the title compound, [Sn(C2H5)2(C10H8ClO2)2], the Sn atom is six-coordinated in a distorted tetragonal-bipyramidal configuration by four O atoms in the equatorial plane and two C atoms in the axial positions. Intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two planar and two non-planar five-membered rings; the latter adopt envelope conformations. There are weak [pi]-[pi] interactions between aromatic rings, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.796 (2) and 4.171 (2) Å. There is also a single C-Cl...[pi] interaction [C-Cl = 1.740 (4), Cl...[pi] = 3.795 (2) C...[pi] = 3.697 (4) Åand C-Cl...\p =73.45 (11)°].
