title: [4-Chloro-N'-(3-meth-oxy-2-oxidobenzyl-idene)benzohydrazidato]dimethyl-tin(IV).
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, [Sn(CH(3))(2)(C(15)H(11)ClN(2)O(3))], the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 6.37 (2)°. The Sn atom is coordinated by one N [Sn-N = 2.187 (3) Å], two O [Sn-O = 2.123 (3) and 2.174 (3) Å] and two C [Sn-C = 2.096 (4) and 2.101 (4) Å] atoms in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers with an Sn⋯Sn separation of 4.330 (6) Å, and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance of 3.690 (5) Å between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules].
