Dimethyl(4′-pyridyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3N1,N1′,N1′′)bis(thiocyanato-κN)tin(IV)

Abstract

The Sn atom in the title compound, [Sn(CH3)2(NCS)2(C20H14N4)], is N,N′,N′′-chelated by the terpyridine part of the N-heterocycle. The Sn atom exists in a trans-C2SnN5 pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry [C—Sn—C = 173.66 (8)°] with the methyl groups in axial and the N atoms in equatorial positions.
