Abstract: In the title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₃(C₇H₂Cl₃O₂)]_n, the tin(IV) atom exhibits a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with two O atoms of symmetry-related carboxylate groups in the axial positions and three methyl groups in the equatorial positions. In the crystal structure, the metal atoms are linked by carboxylate bridges into polymeric chains extending along the b axis.
