title: (μ-trans-1,2-Di-4-pyridylethyl-ene-κN:N')bis-[bis-(N,N-diisopropyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')zinc(II)].
abstract: The dinuclear title compound, [Zn(2)(C(7)H(14)NS(2))(4)(C(12)H(10)N(2))], is centrosymmetric about the central C=C bond. The five-coordinate Zn atom is bonded to two asymmetrically chelating dithio-carbamate ligands and a pyridine N atom to define an NS(4) coordination geometry tending towards a square pyramid, with the N atom in the apical site. In the crystal structure, C-H⋯S contacts lead to supra-molecular chains.
