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.
