(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)bis­(N-ethyl-N-methyl­dithio­carbamato-κ2 S,S′)zinc(II)

The complete mol­ecule of the title compound, [Zn(C4H8NS2)2(C10H8N2)], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the Zn atom lying on the rotation axis; the axis also bis­ects the central C—C bond of the 2,2′-bipyridine mol­ecule. The metal atom is chelated by two S,S′-bidentate dithio­carbamate anions and the N,N′-bidentate heterocycle, resulting in a distorted cis-ZnN2S4 octa­hedral geometry. The methyl and ethyl groups of the anion are statistically disordered
