title: (2-Chlorobenzyl)tris(2-pyridinethiolato)tin(IV).
abstract: In the title compound, (2-chlorobenzyl)tris(pyridine-2-thiolato)-kappa(2)N,S;kappa2N,S;kappaS-tin(IV), [Sn(C7H6Cl)(C5H4NS)3], two of the three pyridine-2-thiolato ligands (SPy) are bidentate and one is monodentate. The bonding C atom of the 2-chlorobenzyl group, the S atom of the monodentate SPy and the S and N atoms of the two bidentate SPy ligands form a distorted octahedron around the Sn atom. The three S atoms and the N atom of one of the bidentate SPy ligands occupy the equatorial positions, while the N atom of the second bidentate SPy ligand and the C(CH2) atom are axial. The axial N-Sn-C angle of 157.9 (1) degree demonstrates the heavy distortion of the octahedron.
