Abstract :
The ZnII atom in the title complex, [ZnCl2(C4H6N2S2)2], is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral manner by two Cl atoms and two terminal N atoms of two dimethyl N-cyanodithioiminocarbonate ligands. In the crystal, the complex molecules are connected through C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and Cl⋯S contacts, leading to a two-dimensional structure extending parallel to the ab plane.
