The title compound, [Pr(H2O)9]I3·2CS(NH2)2, an adduct of nonaaquapraseodymium triiodide with two thiourea molecules, is composed from [Pr(H2O)9]3+ cations (polyhedron: monocapped tetragonal antiprism), noncoordinated thiourea molecules and iodide anions. The components are evidently connected by hydrogen bonds but in the presence of heavy atoms water H atoms have not been located. The complex cation and one of the two independent iodide anions are located on a twofold axis.
