Bis(4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thiolato)dimethyltin(IV)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Sn(CH3)2(C6H7N2S)2], contains two independent molecules with similar configurations. In each, the SnIV cation is coordinated by two methyl and two 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thiolate anions in a distorted SnS2C2 tetrahedral geometry. In the two molecules, the S—Sn—S bond angles are 87.70 (5) and 88.93 (4)°, while the C—Sn—C bond angles are 125.7 (3) and 125.9 (2)°. Weak C—H...N hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
