The title compound was synthesized as part of an effort to produce a more effective fungicide to combat Dutch Elm Disease (DED), which is caused by the fungus Caratocystis ulmi.A full X-ray structural analysis of the 1:1 adduct has been carried out and the results are reported along with the Moessbauer data for the compound.The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/a with a=19.240(3) Angstroem, b=9.1463(24) Angstroem, c=19.3512(24) Angstroem β=118.874(8) deg, V=2982.0(10) Angstroem3, z=4, and Dcalc=1.427 Mg m-3.The final discrepancy factors are RF=0.056 and RW=0.058 for 1915 significant reflections.The QS and IS values in the Moessbauer spectrum of the complex are 3.08 mm s-1 and 1.28 mm s-1, respectivrly.The 2,3-diphenylthiazolidin-4-one behaves as a monodentate ligand and coordinates to the through the oxygen atom.The complex exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal configuration with the phenyl groups in equatorial positions and the chloride and ligand oxygen occupying the apical sites. Key words: triorganotin, fungicide, Dutch Elm Disease, thiazolidin-4-one.
