The title compound, [Sn 4 O 2 (C 7 H 2 ClN 2 O 6 ) 4 (C 4 H 9 ) 8 ], is a centrosymmetric dimer of an oxoditin(IV) complex. Two dibutylbis[4‐chloro‐3,5‐dinitrobenzoate]tin(IV) units containing monodentate and bridging bidentate carboxylate ligands are connected to the central Sn 2 O 2 core. Each Sn atom adopts a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry, with Sn—C distances lying in the narrow range 2.119 (3)–2.135 (3) Å, while Sn—O distances range between 2.037 (2) and 2.286 (2) Å.
