title: Diphenyl(2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato-S,S')plumbane at 295 K and diphenyl(2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato-S,S')stannane at 150 K.
abstract: Molecules of diphenyl(2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato-S,S')plumbane, [Pb(C3S5)(C6H5)2], are linked into sheets via two intermolecular Pb...S(thione) interactions of 3.322 (4) and 3.827 (4) A; the Pb centre has a distorted octahedral geometry. In contrast, molecules of diphenyl(2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato-S,S')stannane, [Sn(C3S5)(C6H5)2], are linked into chains via a single intermolecular Sn--S(thione) interaction of 2.8174 (9) A; the Sn centre has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.
