title: Bis(N-isopropyl-N-methyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')zinc.
abstract: The Zn(II) atom in the title compound, [Zn(C(5)H(10)NS(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], exists in a distorted cis-octa-hedral N(2)S(4) donor set defined by two chelating dithio-carbamate anions as well as a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. Each of the ligands coordinates in a symmetric mode. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C-H⋯S, C-H⋯π(ZnS(2)C) and π-π [ring centroid distance between centrosymmetrically related pyridyl rings = 3.5955 (13) Å] inter-actions.
