Dichloridobis(2-chloro-benzyl-κC)[5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyrid-yl)-1,2,4-triazine-κN,N]tin(IV)

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C(7)H(6)Cl)(2)Cl(2)(C(20)H(14)N(4))], contains two independent mol-ecules. Each Sn(IV) atom is chelated by the bipyridine-like N-heterocycle and exists in a distorted trans-C(2)SnCl(2)N(2) octa-hedral coordination environment. One chloro-benzyl substituent is disordered in each mol-ecule in 0.5:0.5 and 0.778 (2):0.222 (2) ratios.
