Abstract

The tin(IV) atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(8)H(9))(2)Cl(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], is chelated by the N-heterocycle and bonded to two C atoms and two chloride ions in an SnC(2)Cl(2)N(2) octa-hedral coordination environment with the C atoms trans to each other. The dihedral angles between the heterocycle ring system and the benzene rings of the 4-methyl-benzyl groups are 21.20 (12) and 28.71 (11)°.
