The title compound, [Pt(C8H14NS2)2], contains the largest carbocyclic dithiocarbamate ligand yet characterized. Typical Pt-S distances and S-Pt-S angles are observed, but there is a pronounced twist between the planes defined by Pt, S(1), S(2), C(1) and N(1), C(2), C(8) relative to open-chain analogues.
