The tris[(2-methyl-2-phenyl)propyl](2,4-dinitro-phenolato)tin was synthesized by the reaction of bis[tri(2-methyl-2-phenyl)propyltin] oxide with 2,4-dinitrophenol. The compound was characterized by IR, 1H NMR spectra and elemental analysis. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 0.9649(0), b = 1.0087(8), c = 3.4867(4) nm, β = 90.965(7) , Z = 4, V = 3.3933(7) nm3, Dc = 1.369 Mg·m-3, (MoKa) = 0.796 mm-1, F(000) = 1440, R = 0.034...
