Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C(20)H(16)N(3)S(2))(2)]·CH(3)CN, two different Schiff base moieties coordinate to the central Zn(II) ion as tridentate N,N',S-chelating ligands, creating a distorted octa-hedral environment [the smallest angle being 73.24 (6)° and the widest angle being 155.73 (7)°], with the two S atoms in cis positions. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two coordinating ligands is 83.65 (5)°. The crystal packing is consolidated by weak C-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
