Abstract

The title compound, [SnCl 2 (C 4 H 9 ) 2 (C 10 H 8 N 2 )], is the product of the reaction of 2,2'-bipyridyl with dibutyltin dichloride. The Sn IV centre is octahedrally coordinated by a bidentate 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand, two cis chlorides and two trans butyl groups. The extensively delocalized bipyridyl group is not absolutely planar, with the pyridyl rings twisted by 7.5 (3)°.
