Abstract: The molecular structure of the title compound, [Zn₂(C₄H₇OS₂)₄(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)], features two Zn(S₂COiPr)₂ units bridged by a diphosphine ligand. The thiolate ligands are chelating but form asymmetric Zn-S bonds, introducing considerable distortion in the coordination geometry about Zn that is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal.
