Abstract: In the title Zn^II complex, [Zn(C₁₇H₁₅N₂S₂)₂], the Zn^II atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. It exists in a tetrahedral geometry, chelated by two deprotonated Schiff base ligands. The dihedral angle between each ligand is 71.48 (8)°. Molecules are connected by weak C-HS intermolecular interactions into chains along the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C-H interactions involving the phenyl ring of the 3-phenylprop-2-enylidene unit.
