In the title compound, [Sn(C 2 H 2 O 2 S) 2 (C 2 H 6 OS) 2 ], the mercaptoacetato ligands chelate to Sn IV through S and one O atoms. The metal centre is also coordinated by two dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) ligands through the O atom, leading to an overall distorted octahedral coordination environment for the Sn IV atom. The molecular adduct lies on a twofold rotation axis.
