title: Bis(μ-N-benzyl-N-tetra-decyl-dithio-carbamato-κS:S')bis-[(N-benzyl-N-tetra-decyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')zinc(II)].
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(2)(C(22)H(36)NS(2))(4)], two bidentate dithio-carbamate groups chelate directly to the Zn(II) atoms, whereas the two remaining dithio-carbamate ligands bridge the Zn atoms via a crystallographic inversion centre. The Zn atoms show a strongly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. Adding the long S⋯S distance with the inversion centre being in the middle, the resulting five-coordinate geometry around the Zn atoms can be considered to be between distorted recta-ngular pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, with a calculated τ value of 0.31. In this dimer complex, two inversion-related tetra-decyl carbon chains exhibit all-trans conformations, and the other two chains show a cis conformation at the end of the chains.
