(N,N-Diiso-propyl-dithio-carbamato)tri-phenyl-tin(IV): crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study

The crystal and mol-ecular structures of the title triorganotin di-thio-carbamate, [Sn(C6H5)3(C7H14NS2)], are described. The mol-ecular geometry about the metal atom is highly distorted being based on a C3S tetra-hedron as the di-thio-carbamate ligand is asymmetrically chelating to the tin centre. The close approach of the second thione-S atom [Sn⋯S = 2.9264 (4) Å] is largely responsible for the distortion. The mol-ecular packing is almost devoid of directional inter-actions with only weak phenyl-C-H⋯C(phen-yl) inter-actions, leading to centrosymmetric dimeric aggregates, being noted. An analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface points to the significance of H⋯H contacts, which contribute 66.6% of all contacts to the surface, with C⋯H/H⋯C [26.8%] and S⋯H/H⋯H [6.6%] contacts making up the balance.
