Abstract: The dinuclear title compound, [Zn₂(C₇H₁₄NS₂)₄(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)], is centrosymmetric about the central C=C bond. The five-coordinate Zn atom is bonded to two asymmetrically chelating dithiocarbamate ligands and a pyridine N atom to define an NS₄ coordination geometry tending towards a square pyramid, with the N atom in the apical site. In the crystal structure, C-HS contacts lead to supramolecular chains.
