title: Di-n-butyl-bis-[N-(2-meth-oxy-eth-yl)-N-methyl-dithio-carbamato-κ2S,S']tin(IV): crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis.
abstract: The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, [Sn(C4H9)2(C5H10NOS2)2], is generated by a crystallographic mirror plane, with the SnIVatom and the two inner methyl-ene C atoms of the butyl ligands lying on the mirror plane; statistical disorder is noted in the two terminal ethyl groups, which deviate from mirror symmetry. The di-thio-carbamate ligand coordinates to the metal atom in an asymmetric mode with the resulting C2S4donor set defining a skew trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry; then-butyl groups are disposed to lie over the longer Sn-S bonds. Supra-molecular chains aligned along thea-axis direction and sustained by methyl-ene-C-H⋯S(weakly coordinating) inter-actions feature in the mol-ecular packing. A Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals the dominance of H⋯H contacts in the crystal.
