The title complex, [Sn(CH(3))(2)(C(8)H(10)O(4))](n), was synthesized from cis-cyclo-hexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid and dimethyl-tin dichloride. The complex has a bridging bis-bidentate carboxyl-ate group resulting in a zig-zag chain structure parallel to [001]. The Sn atom is six-coordinated and displays a distorted octa-hedral geometry.
