^aUncertainties are propagated according to Taylor, J. R. An Introduction to Error Analysis; 2nd ed.; University Science Books: Sausalito, CA, 1997, pp 73–77. The square bracket represents the uncertainties propagated in the averaging of chemically identical values.

^bδ = mean displacement of S atoms from the C₆ arene plane.

^cσ = range of S atom displacements from the C₆ arene plane.

^dθ = fold angle between S₂Sn and S₂C₂ planes.

^eθ = angle between Cl₂M and S₂M planes.

^fAll values are averages for three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the cell.

^gBecause of static disorder afflicting one of the SⁱPr groups, this table entry is a single, unaveraged bond length.

^hθ = angle between S₂Cu chelate planes.

ⁱθ = angle between S₂,_dithioleneM and S_{2,dithioether}M planes.
