Abstract: The Bi atom in the title compound, [Bi(C₇H₁₄NS₂)₃], is coordinated by six S atoms from three bidentate N-butyl-N-ethyldithiocarbamate ligands; it is also engaged in an additional BiS interaction which links two tris(N-butyl-N-ethyldithiocarbamato)bismuth fragments into centrosymmetric binuclear dimers. Thus, each of the Bi atoms in the dimer has a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal environment, with one short axial Bi-S distance of 2.608  (2)  Å, one long axial BiS interaction of 3.334  (2)  Å, and five `regular' equatorial bonds in the range 2.819  (2)-2.867  (2)  Å.
