The structure of the title compound, [Zn(C12H11N2O2S)2-(C 10H8N2)], consists of monomeric molecules in which the central ZnN2N′N″ unit has a distorted tetrahedral geometry, with bond lengths ranging from 2.020 (3) to 2.109 (3) A. The anionic ligands are potential bidentate donors and thus there are two secondary Zn-N interactions. The shorter of these is 2.317 (3) A and completes at the Zn atom an irregular five-coordinated geometry, which can be described as a square pyramid showing 30% distortion towards the trigonal bipyramid; the other Zn-N contact is much longer at 2.549 (3) A.
