Triethylammonium dichloro[N-[(2-oxyphenyl)methylidene]valinato]-phenyl-tin(iv) was prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The compound consists of a triethylammonium cation and a tin complex as anion. The tin complex is composed of a tridentate O,N,O-Schiff base ligand coordinated to a SnCl2Ph unit. The tin atom is in distorted octahedral coordination geometry. NMR spectroscopic studies have shown that the unusual hexa-coordinated tin complex was formed as a kinetically controlled product. Storage of the solid product for several years led to a transformation into a thermodynamically stable penta-coordinated tin complex
