The six-coordinate Sn(IV) atom in the title compound, [SnCl(4)(C(14)H(14)OS)(2)], exists in a cis-SnCl(4)O(2) octa-hedral geometry. Of the four Cl atoms, two are close to adjacent S atoms [Cl⋯S = 3.320 (1) and 3.376 (1) Å]; the Sn-Cl bonds involving these two Cl atoms are longer than the other two Sn-Cl bonds.
