Dichloridodiphenylbis(thiourea-κS)tin(IV)

Abstract

The title compound, [Sn(C6H5)2Cl2(CH4N2S)2], has been obtained from the reaction between Sn(C6H5)2Cl2 and SC(NH2)2. The asymmetric unit consists of one half of the mol­ecular unit, the remainder generated by a twofold rotation axis located along the Cl—Sn—Cl bonds. The SnIV atom is coordinated by two phenyl groups, two Cl atoms and two thio­urea ligands in an all trans octa­hedral C2Cl2S2 environment. Individual mol­ecules are connected through N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, leading to a three-dimensional network structure. Intra­molecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are also present.
