Carboxylate bridges link the two independent molecules in the asymmetr
ic unit of the title compound, [Sn(C5H8NO2S2)(C6H5)(3)], into a helica
l chain parallel to b {i.e. -mu-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoylthioacetato)
-O:O']). Both five-coordinate Sn atoms show trans-C3SnO2 trigonal bipy
ramidal coordination geometry.
