Abstract: The Sn atom in the title compound, [Sn(C₇H₇)₂(C₅H₅N₂O)Cl], shows a distorted C₂ClNOSn trigonal-bipyramidal coordination, with a Cl-Sn-O axial angle of 163.77 (3)°, but the C-Sn-C angle [141.43 (7)°] deviates from 120°. The chelating ligand exists in a zwitterionic form. Adjacent molecules are linked by an N-H_pyridiniumO hydrogen bond, forming a chain running along the c axis of the orthorhombic unit cell.
