Abstract: The tetra(p-chlorobenzyl)tin has been synthesized via reaction of p-chlorobenzyl chloride with Sn and struc-turally determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with a=2.1243(6), b=2.2136(6), c=1.1242(3)nm,V=5.286(2)nm3, Z=8, Dx=1.560Mg·m-3, μ(MoKα)=13.86cm-1,F(000)=2480,find R=0.0331 for 2191 unique reflection [I >2σ(I)]. The bond lengths of Sn-C is 0.2167,0.2183nm,respectively.The tin atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The study on title compound has been performed,with ab initio calculation by means of G98W package and taking Lanl2dz basis set.The sta-bilities of the compound,some frontier molecular orbital energies,the populations of the atomic net charges in compound and composition characteristics of some frontier molecular orbitals have been investigated.
