Abstract: The dinuclear title compound, [Zn₂(C₃H₆NS₂)₄(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)], features two five-coordinate Zn atoms, one with an NS₄ coordination geometry distorted towards a trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement, and the other distorted towards a square pyramid. In the crystal, molecules are connected into supramolecular zigzag chains via C-HS contacts. Chains are connected via C-H interactions, consolidating the crystal packing.
