Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (Ph₄P)[Zn(C₃OS₄)₂], comprises six crystallographically independent entities, viz. two zincate anions and four counter-cations. Only the complex anions are of interest, noting in particular the tetrahedral coordination of the Zn atoms distorted primarily by the bite angles and asymmetric chelation of the ligands, and the non-linear nature of and departures from planarity in the anions themselves.
