The structure of [Zn(S 2 CNEt 2 ) 2 ] 2 (4,4′‐bipy) shows two independent dimeric molecules, one located about a centre of inversion, the other lying on a two fold axis containing the zinc atoms. Bidentate coordination by the dithiocarbamate ligands and a distorted square pyramidal geometry are found for two of zinc atoms whereas for the third zinc atom, the geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, a result that underscores the flexibility of coordination in these systems.
