title: Bis[μ-4-(2-oxidobenzyl-idene)thio-semi-carbazidato-κS,N,O:O]bis-[(pyridine-κN)zinc].
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(2)(C(8)H(7)N(3)OS)(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Zn(2)O(2) ring has a flattened roof shape, with the roof angle equal to 10.10 (6)°. The thio-semicarbazones act as tridentate ligands to one Zn(II) atom, with the O atoms additionally in bridging positions to the second Zn(II) atom. Both Zn(II) atoms are five-coordinated; the coordination polyhedra are close to square pyramids, with the pyridine N atoms at apical positions. Two inter-molecular N-H⋯N and one relatively weak N-H⋯S hydrogen bond, together with C-H⋯S weak inter-actions, connect the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
