The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, [Zn(C(4)H(8)NS(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the Zn atom lying on the rotation axis; the axis also bis-ects the central C-C bond of the 2,2'-bipyridine mol-ecule. The metal atom is chelated by two S,S'-bidentate dithio-carbamate anions and the N,N'-bidentate heterocycle, resulting in a distorted cis-ZnN(2)S(4) octa-hedral geometry. The methyl and ethyl groups of the anion are statistically disordered.
