Abstract
The structure of the title compound, [Zn(C12H11N2O2S)(2)- (C10H8N2)], consi sts of monomeric molecules in which the central ZnN2N'N'' unit has a distor ted tetrahedral geometry, with bond lengths ranging from 2.020 (3) to 2.109 (3) Angstrom. The anionic ligands are potential bidentate donors and thus there are two secondary Zn-N interactions. The shorter of these is 2.317 (3 ) Angstrom and completes at the Zn atom an irregular five-coordinated geome try, which can be described as a square pyramid showing 30% distortion towa rds the trigonal bipyramid; the other Zn-N contact is much longer at 2.549 (3) Angstrom.
