Abstract: In the title molecule, [Sn(CH₃)₂(C₁₅H₁₁ClN₂O₃)], the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 6.37 (2)°. The Sn atom is coordinated by one N [Sn-N = 2.187 (3) Å], two O [Sn-O = 2.123 (3) and 2.174 (3) Å] and two C [Sn-C = 2.096 (4) and 2.101 (4) Å] atoms in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The crystal packing exhibits weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers with an SnSn separation of 4.330 (6) Å, and - interactions [centroid-centroid distance of 3.690 (5) Å between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules].
