Chlorobis(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamato)(vinyl)tin(IV)

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, [SnCl(C 2 H 3 )(C 5 H 10 NS 2 ) 2 ], consists of relatively isolated complex molecules, the closest intermolecular contact [3.573 (6) A] being between the methyl C atom C(3) and the S atom S(2) of neighbouring molecules. The Sn atom is hexacoordinated by the vinyl group, the Cl atom and the two bidentate dithiocarbamate ligands, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry. The vinyl group and Cl atom both occupy cis positions with respects to the dithiocarbamate ligands
