Abstract: The Sn^IV atom in the title compound, [Sn(C₇H₆Cl)₂Cl₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)], is coordinated by the bidentate N-heterocycle molecule, two chlorobenzyl anions and two Cl^- anions in a distorted trans-C₂SnCl₂N₂ octahedral geometry [C-Sn-C = 178.4 (1)°]. In the molecular structure, the two benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 39.62 (17)°.
