title: Bis(chloro-acetato-κO,O')bis-(2-fluoro-benzyl-κC)tin(IV).
abstract: In the title complex, [Sn(C(2)H(2)ClO(2))(2)(C(7)H(6)F)(2)], the Sn(IV) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and forms a strongly distorted trans-octa-hedral geometry. The equatorial plane is defined by two chelating chloro-acetate ligands with asymmetrical Sn-O bond lengths, while the axial positions are occupied by the C atoms of two 2-fluoro-benzyl groups. In the crystal, infinite chains in the [010] direction are formed through inter-molecular Sn⋯O inter-actions [Sn⋯O separation = 3.682 (3) Å].
