fac-(2-Amido-ethyl-κC,O)trichlorido(urea-κO)tin(IV).

The Sn atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(3)H(6)NO)Cl(3)(CH(4)N(2)O)], is octa-hedrally coordinated within a CCl(3)NO donor set provided by a chelating amido-ethyl ligand (C and O), a urea-O atom and three facially arranged Cl atoms. Systematic variations in the Sn-Cl bond distances are correlated with the relative trans influence exerted by the C and carbonyl-O atoms. The three-dimensional crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
