Trichlorido{2-dimeth­oxy­methyl-4-methyl-6-[(quinolin-8-yl)imino­meth­yl]phenolato-κ(3) N,N′,O (1)}tin(IV)

In the title compound, [Sn(C(20)H(19)N(2)O(3))Cl(3)], the Sn(IV) ion is surrounded by a tridentate monoanionic Schiff base and by three meridional chloride ions in a six-coordinated distorted octa­hedral geometry. The Sn—Cl bond [2.366 (2) Å] trans to nitro­gen is shorter than the others [2.438 (2) and 2.414 (2) Å]. The N—Sn—N angle [76.19 (11)°] is smaller than the O—Sn—N angle [87.89 (10)°] in the Schiff base ligand. No classical inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are observed. The crystal packing exhibits π–π stacking inter­actions, with a distance of 3.595 (2) Å between the centroids of the phenolate ring and the benzene ring of the quinoline group of inversion-related mol­ecules.
