[1-(4-Hydr-oxy-2-oxidobenzyl-idene)-4-phenyl-thio-semicarbazonato-κN,O,S](1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')zinc(II)-4,4'-bipyridine (2/1).

ABSTRACT: The Zn(II) atom in the title compound, [Zn(C(14)H(11)N(3)O(2)S)(C(12)H(8)N(2))]·0.5C(10)H(8)N(2), is N,N'-chelated by the N-heterocycle and N,O,S-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base in a square-pyramidal environment. The hydr-oxy group of the Schiff base is a hydrogen-bond donor to 4,4'-bipyridine, which is located about a center of inversion, resulting in the formation of a supra-molecular trimeric unit.
