Bis(μ‐N‐methyl‐N‐phenyl­di­thio­carbamato)[bis(N‐methyl‐N‐phenyl­di­thio­carbamato)­zinc(II)]

The Zn atom in the centrosymmetric title compound, [Zn2(C8H8NS2)4], is almost symmetrically coordinated by one terminal bidentate N‐phenyl‐N‐methyl­di­thio­carbamate ligand [Zn—S 2.348 (1) and 2.459 (1) Å] and non‐symmetrically coordinated by a second bidentate bridging di­thio­carbamate ligand [Zn—S 2.316 (1) and 2.980 (1) Å]. The latter also uses its bridging S atom to coordinate the second Zn atom [Zn—S 2.378 (1) Å], thus forming a dimeric binuclear complex. Taking into account the long Zn⋯S distance, the Zn atom has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination.
