title: Dichloridobis(1,3-phenyl-propane-1,3-dionato-κO,O')tin(IV) toluene hemisolvate.
abstract: The two Sn-O-C-C-C-O chelate rings in the title compound, [Sn(C(15)H(11)O(2))(2)Cl(2)]·0.5C(7)H(8), adopt envelope conformations, with the Sn atom deviating from the least-squares plane passing through the C and O atoms by 0.626 (1) Å in one ring and by 0.690 (1) Å for the other. The two planes are aligned at an angle of 59.6 (1)°. The Cl atoms occupy cis positions in the octa-hedral SnCl(2)O(4) coordination environment. The solvent mol-ecule is disordered about a center of inversion.
