Abstract :
The title compound, [Sn(CH3)2(C5H8NOS2)2], has the SnIV atom bound by two methyl groups which lie over the weaker Sn—S bonds formed by two asymmetrically chelating dithiocarbamate ligands so that the coordination geometry is skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal. The most prominent feature of the molecular packing are secondary Sn⋯S interactions [Sn⋯S = 3.5654 (7) Å] that lead to centrosymmetric dimers. These are connected into a three-dimensional architecture via methylene-C—H⋯S and methyl-C—H⋯O(morpholino) interactions. The Sn⋯S interactions are clearly evident in the Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound along with a number of other intermolecular contacts.
