title: Bis[2-(3,4-disulfanylphen-yl)acetato]bis-(2-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN)zinc(II).
abstract: In the title mononuclear zinc(II) complex, [Zn(C(8)H(7)O(2)S(2))(2)(C(4)H(6)N(2))(2)], the Zn(II) atom, lying on a twofold axis, is coordinated by two O atoms from two 2-(3,4-disulfanylphen-yl)acetate anions and by two N atoms from 2-methyl-imidazole ligands in a distorted tetra-hdral coordination. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.6136 (16) Å.
