Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of [2,6‐(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ] 2 SnF 2 reveals that only one of the two dimethylaminomethyl groups of each pincer‐type ligands [2,6‐(CH 2 NMe 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ] − is coordinated to the tin atom at Sn‐N distances of 2.576(2) and 2.470(2) Å, inducing chirality of the latter. The tin atom exhibits a distorted octahedral trans (C,C) cis (N,N) cis (F,F) configuration. Extensive intra‐ and intermolecular C‐H···F hydrogen bonding is observed with the latter giving rise to formation of polymeric chains.
