%X The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(S2COEt)2(C9H6NO)2], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 298 K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.049 for 1771 ?observed? reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a 12.21(1), b 24.33(1), c 9.159(7) &#506;, &#946; 102.12(6)&#176;, Z 4. The environment of the tin atom is six- coordinate: the two coordinating sulfur atoms of the monodentate xanthate ligands lie cis in the coordination sphere [Sn-S, 2.484(4), 2.510(4) &#506;], and one in turn trans to the two oxine nitrogen atoms [Sn- N, 2.260(8), 2.237(10) &#506;]. The remaining positions, trans to each other, are occupied by the oxine oxygen atoms [Sn-O, 2.047(7), 2.065(8) &#506;]. O-Sn-O is 157.0(3)&#176;. The overall point symmetry of the molecule is a good approximation to 2.
