Abstract: The title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₂(C₇H₁₂NS₂)₂], comprises Sn^IV coordinated by two 4-methylpiperidinedithiocarboxylate ligands and two methyl groups. The coordination geometry around Sn is distorted octahedral, with the methyl groups adopting an arrangement intermediate between a cis and trans configuration. There are two independent complexes in the asymmetric unit, with closely comparable geometries.
