The Sn atom in the title compound, [Sn(C4H9)2(C7H14NS2)2], exists in a tetrahedral C2S2Sn coordination geometry. The geometry is distorted towards skew-trapezoidal-bipyramidal owing to the proximity of the double-bond S atoms [Sn—S = 2.521 (2) and Sn...S = 2.933 (2) Å]. The Sn atom lies on a special position of mm2 site symmetry and the tin-bound n-butyl chain is disordered about a mirror plane. The ethyl and n-butyl groups of the dithiocarbamate unit are disordered about another mirror plane.
