Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, bis(-N,N-dibutyldithiocarbamato-²S:S')bis[(N,N-dibutyldithiocarbamato-²S,S')zinc(II)], [Zn₂(C₉H₁₈NS₂)₄], has been determined at 180  K. The structure contains two crystallographically unique Zn²⁺ metal centres, showing almost identical slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination environments, and forming a dinuclear complex with two skew-bridging syn-N,N-dibutyldithiocarbamate ligands. Two other dithiocarbamate ligands are connected to the Zn²⁺ centres in a syn,syn-chelate coordination mode.
