The crystal structures of the compounds [Cl3SnCo(CO)4] 1, [Cl2Sn{Co(CO)4}2]2, and [ClSn{Co(CO)4}3]3, have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Sn is co-ordinated tetrahedrally by Cl- and Co-substituents, the co-ordination polyhedron of Co is a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The Sn -Cl- and the Sn-Co-distances both increase from 1 to 3 (Sn -Co: 247.7 in 1, 253.2 in 2, and 260.6 pm in 3).
