{1-[(2-Oxidonaphthalen-1-yl)methylidene]thiosemicarbazidato-κN,O,S}diphenyl-tin(IV).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sn(C(6)H(5))(2)(C(12)H(9)N(3)OS)], contains two independent mol-ecules with almost identical configurations. In each mol-ecule, the Sn(IV) atom is coordinated by O, N and S atoms from a (2-oxido-1-naph-thaldehyde)-thio-semicarbazonato ligand and two C atoms from phenyl rings in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Weak inter-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link four mol-ecules into a centrosymmetric tetra-mer. The crystal packing exhibits short inter-molecular S⋯S contacts of 3.335 (3) Å.
