Abstract: The title tetranuclear Sn^IV compound, [Sn₄(C₇H₆Cl)₈Cl₂O₂(OH)₂], has site symmetry . Two O^2- and two OH^- anions bridge four Sn^IV cations to form the tetranuclear compound. The two independent Sn^IV cations assume SnO₃C₂ and SnO₂C₂Cl distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometries. Intramolecular O-HCl hydrogen bonding is present in the structure. One Cl atom of a chlorobenzyl ligand is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.693 (2):0.307 (2).
