Abstract: The Zn atom in the centrosymmetric title compound, [Zn₂(C₈H₈NS₂)₄], is almost symmetrically coordinated by one terminal bidentate N-phenyl-N-methyldithiocarbamate ligand [Zn-S 2.348  (1) and 2.459  (1)  Å] and non-symmetrically coordinated by a second bidentate bridging dithiocarbamate ligand [Zn-S 2.316  (1) and 2.980  (1)  Å]. The latter also uses its bridging S atom to coordinate the second Zn atom [Zn-S 2.378  (1)  Å], thus forming a dimeric binuclear complex. Taking into account the long ZnS distance, the Zn atom has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination.
