title: (μ-1,2-Di-4-pyridylethyl-ene-κN:N')bis-[bis-(N,N-dimethyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')zinc(II)].
abstract: The dinuclear title compound, [Zn(2)(C(3)H(6)NS(2))(4)(C(12)H(10)N(2))], features two five-coordinate Zn atoms, one with an NS(4) coordination geometry distorted towards a trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement, and the other distorted towards a square pyramid. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into supra-molecular zigzag chains via C-H⋯S contacts. Chains are connected via C-H⋯π interactions, consolidating the crystal packing.
