(N-Benzyl-N-isopropyldithiocarbamato)-chloridodiphenyltin(IV)

Abstract

The SnIV atom in the title organotin dithio­carbamate, [Sn(C6H5)2(C11H14NS2)Cl], is penta-coordinated by an asymmetrically coordinating dithio­carbamate ligand, a Cl and two ispo-C atoms of the Sn-bound phenyl groups. The resulting C2ClS2 donor set defines a coordination geometry inter­mediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal with a slight tendency towards the latter. The formation of close intra­molecular C–H[cdots, three dots, centered]Cl and C–H[cdots, three dots, centered]S contacts precludes the Cl and S atoms from forming significant inter­molecular contacts. The presence of C–H[cdots, three dots, centered]π contacts leads to the formation of supra­molecular arrays that stack along the b axis.
