Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sn4(C7H6Cl)8(C8H7O2)2O2(OH)2], comprises one-half of the centrosymmetric tin(IV) complex. [mu]3-Oxide and [mu]2-hydroxide bridges link the four five-coordinate SnIV atoms to generate three fused four-membered Sn-O-Sn-O rings in a ladder-like structure. The two endocyclic Sn atoms each bind to two [mu]3-oxide anions and a [mu]2-hydroxide ligand, together with two 2-chlorobenzyl groups. The exocyclic Sn atoms each carry a monodentate phenylacetate ligand, two 2-chlorobenzyl groups, and [mu]3-oxide and [mu]2-hydroxide ligands. Both types of Sn atoms adopt a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular O-H...O interactions involving the [mu]2-hydroxide ligands and the C=O group of the phenylacetate ligand.
