catena-Poly[[tris(4-fluorobenzyl)tin(IV)]-mu-2-[(piperidin-1-yl)ca rbothioylsulfanyl]acetato-kappa O-2/O `]

Adjacent units of the title polymeric complex, [Sn(C7H6F)(3)(C8H12NO2S2)], are bridged by the carboxylate ion into a helical chain running along the b axis. The Sn(IV) atom shows a distorted trans-C3SnO2 trigonal-bipyramidal coordination and is displaced by 0.113 (2) A out of the C3Sn girdle in the direction of the covalently bonded O atom. The ring is disordered of two positions with an occupancy of 0.631 (4) for the major occupied site.
