title: Bis[N'-(2-oxo-1H-indol-3-ylidene)thiophene-2-carbohydrazidato-κO,N',O']zinc(II) N,N-dimethyl-formide mono-solvate monohydrate.
abstract: The metal atom of the title compound, [Zn(C(13)H(8)N(3)O(2)S)(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO·H(2)O, is O,N,O'-chelated by two deprotonated Schiff bases and it exists in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The N-H groups of the ligands, the carbonyl group of the DMF mol-ecule and uncoordinated water mol-ecule engage in N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O inter-actions, generating a hydrogen-bonded ribbon that propagates along [110]. One thienyl ring is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio.
