Abstract: In the title clathrate complex, {[Sn₂(CH₃)₆(C₂N₂S₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)]·C₁₀H₈N₂}_n, two independent Sn atoms are five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The asymmetric unit contains two independent 4,4'-bipyridine systems, one of which bridges two independent Sn atoms [Sn-N = 2.588 (7) and 2.591 (7) Å], leading to the formation a one-dimensional polymeric zigzag chain.
