Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn₂(C₇H₄O₂S)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂], the Zn complex forms a centrosymmetric dimer with a ZnZn separation of 3.580 (1) Å. Each Zn atom is coordinated by two N atoms from the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand and by three O atoms and one S atom from the thiosalicylate ligands in a highly distorted octahedral geometry, with Zn-N distances of 2.119 (2) and 2.166 (2) Å, Zn-O distances in the range 2.161 (2)-2.329 (2) Å, and a Zn-S distance of 2.3034 (12) Å. There are - stacking interactions between the phen rings, forming a stacking arrangement along the c axis in the crystal structure.
