Chloridometh-yl(2-methyl-quinolin-8-olato-κN,O)phenyl-tin(IV).

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Sn(CH(3))(C(6)H(5))(C(10)H(8)NO)Cl], consists of two independent mol-ecules, both of which have the N,O-chelated Sn(IV) atom in a cis-C(2)SnNOCl trigonal-bipyramidal geometry [C-Sn-C = 124.82†(8) and 137.69†(8)°]. The Cl atom of the mol-ecule with the smaller C-Sn-C angle inter-acts weakly with the Sn(IV) atom of the mol-ecule with the wider C-Sn-C angle at an Sn⋯Cl distance of 3.595†(1)†à . Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
