{S-Benzyl 3-[(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl-κN)methyl-idene]dithio-carbazato-κ(2)N(3),S}zinc.

The title compound, [Zn(C(15)H(14)N(3)S(2))(2)], contains two chemically equivalent Schiff base anions that are coordinated to the Zn(II) ion as tridentate N,N',S-chelating ligands, creating a distorted octa-hedral environment [the smallest angle being 75.40†(6)° and the widest angle being 162.87†(6)°], with the two S atoms in cis positions. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two coordinating ligands is 85.65†(5)°. Weak C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds are also observed.
