Compound <b>2</b> comprises a Sn<sup>II</sup>S moiety coordinated with the Sn<sup>IV</sup> and S atoms of a trimeric 2-stannathiomethendiide {(PPh<sub>2</sub>NSiMe<sub>3</sub>)­(PPh<sub>2</sub>S)­CSn­(μ-S)}<sub>3</sub>. Compound <b>2</b> has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, <sup>119</sup>Sn Mössbauer studies, X-ray crystallography, and theoretical studies. <sup>119</sup>Sn NMR spectroscopy and Mössbauer studies show the presence of Sn<sup>IV</sup> and Sn<sup>II</sup> atoms in <b>2</b>. X-ray crystallography suggests that the Sn<sup>II</sup>S moiety does not have multiple bond character. Theoretical studies illustrate that the C<sub>methanediide</sub>–Sn bonds comprise a lone pair orbital on each C<sub>methanediide</sub> atom and an C–Sn occupied σ orbital.
