Abstract
The reaction of pyrazine-2-carbaldehyde 4-ethyl-thio-semi-carbazone (Hapetsc) with diphenyl-tin(IV) dichloride in ethanol resulted in the formation of the title compound, dichloridodiphenyl-bis(pyrazine-2-carbaldehyde 4-ethyl-thio-semi-carbazone)tin(IV), [Sn(C6H5)2Cl2(C9H13N5S)2]. The complex exhibits a distorted octa-hedron about the Sn atom, which lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by two Cl atoms, two phenyl ligands and two Hapetsc units. The pyrazine ligands are in a trans configuration and behave as monodentate donors through their ring N atoms. The Sn - Cl distances are 2.5484 (4) Å, the Sn - C distances are 2.1378 (12) Å and the Sn - N distances are 2.4032 (11) Å. One NH group of the thio-semicarbazone ligand forms an intra-molecular S(5) hydrogen bond with an adjacent N atom on the same ligand. The other N - H group is not involved in hydrogen bonding.
