Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₈N₃S₂)₂], the Zn atom is coordinated by the two ligands in a tridentate manner, via the pyridyl N, the azomethine N and the thiolate S atom; the coordination geometry is distorted octahedral, with the two ligands in the mer configuration (two S atoms and two pyridyl N atoms are cis with respect to each other and the azomethine N atoms is trans). The molecules are linked by C-HS hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network structure.
