(μ-trans-1,2-Di-4-pyridylethyl-ene-κN:N')bis-[bis-(N,N-diethyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')zinc(II)] chloro-form solvate.

ABSTRACT: The dinuclear title solvate, [Zn(2)(C(5)H(10)NS(2))(4)(C(12)H(10)N(2))]·CHCl(3), features two five-coordinate Zn atoms; both coordination polyhedra are distorted, but one has an NS(4) donor set approximating to a square pyramid (with the N atom in the apical site), while the other is closer to a ZnNS(4) trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement (with the N atom in an equatorial site). In both cases, the Zn(II) atom is chelated by two S,S'-bidentate dithiol-ate ligands. In the crystal, the chloro-form solvent mol-ecules reside in cavities defined by the dinuclear species and are held in place via C-H⋯S contacts.
