The reaction of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, picolinic acid and stannic chloride yields the title monosolvated salt, (C13H10NO)[SnCl4(C6H4NO2)]·CH3OH. The SnIV atom is N,O-chelated by the picolinate ion in a cis-SnNOCl4 octahedral geometry. The cation is linked to the methanol solvent molecule by an O-H
O hydrogen bond; the solvent molecule itself is a hydrogen-bond donor to the uncoordinating carboxylate O atom of the anion. The cations and anions are linked by weak N-H
Cl interactions, forming a chain running along the b axis.
