The crystal structures of two triorganotin butyrates were determined. Tricyclohexyltin 2‐( p ‐chlorophenyl)‐3‐methylbutyrate was determined to have a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Trimethyltin 2‐( p ‐chlorophenyl)‐3‐methylbutyrate, on the other hand, was found to be polymeric in nature with a trigonal bipyramidal configuration. The three methyl groups are located in the equatorial positions with the axial positions occupied by oxygen atoms from two different carboxylate groups. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
