The crystal structures of trans-[2,3-bis(methylthio)hexane-S,S']dichlorozinc(II), [ZnCl2(C8H18S2)], trans-[1,2-bis(methylthio)cyclohexane-S,S']dichlorozinc(II), [ZnCl2(C8H16S2)], and cis-[1,2-bis(methylthio)-3,5-cycloheptadiene-S,S']dichlorozinc(II), [ZnCl2(C9H14S2)], contain distorted tetrahedral Zn atoms coordinated to two Cl and two S atoms with Zn-Cl and Zn-S distances in the ranges 2.190 (2)-2.222 (2) and 2.369 (2)-2.475 (1) Å, respectively. The Cl-Zn-Cl and S-Zn-S angles in the three compounds are in the ranges 117.35 (4)-122.63 (4) and 88.11 (5)-91.12 (6)°, respectively.
