title: Trichlorido(4-methyl-benz-yl)bis-(1H-pyrazole-κN)tin(IV).
abstract: The six-coordinate Sn(IV) atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(8)H(9))Cl(3)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)], shows an octa-hedral coordination. The N atoms of the N-heterocycle are cis to each other. The Sn-N bond that is trans to the Sn-C bond is shorter than the Sn-N bond trans to the Sn-Cl bond. Weak N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules, generating a double chain running along the c axis.
