Supporting information
Trimethyltin thiocyanate (0.19 g, 1 mmol) and 4-[1,3,4-tris(pyridin-4-yl)butan-2-yl]pyridine (0.73 g, 2 mmol) were loaded into a convection tube; the tube was filled with ethyl alcohol andkept at 333 K. Colorless crystals were collected from the side arm after several days.
Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions [C–H 0.93 to 0.96 Å, Uiso(H) 1.2 to 1.5Ueq(C)] and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation.

Unlike trimethyltin chloride, the pseudohalide, trimethyltin thiocyanate, furnishes only few coordination compounds with aromatic amines. Trimethyltin thiocyanate itself exists as a zigzag chain in which the thiocyanate unit bridges adjacent trimethyltin cations (Forder & Sheldrick, 1970). The title adduct (Scheme I, Fig. 1) is the first crystal structure report of such an adduct. The tetrapyridyl-substitutent butane ligand, C24H22N4, uses the pyridine N-atoms at the either ends of the butyl chain to coordinate to a trimethylthiocyanatotin unit. The dinuclear molecule lies on a center-of-inversion, with the mid-point of the butyl chain coinciding with this symmetry element.
The Sn atom is displaced out of the trigonal plane, in the direction of the thiocyanate ion, by 0.036 (2) Å.
