Abstract

The Sn(IV) atom in the centrosymmetric title complex, [Sn2(CH3)4(NCS)2(OH)2], adopts a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment defined by two methyl C atoms and one bridging hydroxide group in the equatorial plane while the other bridging hydroxide group and the N atom of the thio-cyanate anion are in the apical >positions. The dinuclear species are linked through O-H⋯S and C-H⋯ S hydrogen-bonding inter-actions into a three-dimensional network.
