Bis(μ-N-benzyl-N-tetra­decyl­dithio­carbamato-κ2 S:S′)bis­(N-benzyl-N-tetra­decyl­dithio­carbamato-κ2 SS′)zinc(II)

摘要

In the title compound, [Zn2(C22H36NS2)4], two bidentate dithio­carbamate groups chelate directly to the Zn^II atoms, whereas the two remaining dithio­carbamate ligands bridge the Zn atoms via a crystallographic inversion centre. The Zn atoms show a strongly distorted tetra­hedral geometry. Adding the long S⋯S distance with the inversion centre being in the middle, the resulting five-coordinate geometry around the Zn atoms can be considered to be between distorted recta­ngular pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, with a calculated τ value of 0.31. In this dimer complex, two inversion-related tetra­decyl carbon chains exhibit all-trans conformations, and the other two chains show a cis conformation at the end of the chains.
