The Sn atom in catena-poly[triphenyltin(IV)-micro-(3-ureidopropionato-O(1):O(3))], [Sn(C(6)H(5))(3)(C(4)H(7)N(2)O(3))](n), is five-coordinate and has a trans-C(3)SnO(2) trigonal-bipyrmidal geometry arising from bridging through the O atom of the ureido fragment of an adjacent carboxylate group. Infinite chains propagate helically along the c axis and adjacent chains are linked by N-H.O [N.O 2.851 (4) A] hydrogen bonds into layers.
