The title compound, [Zn(C15H14N3S2)2], contains two chemically equivalent Schiff base anions that are coordinated to the ZnII ion as tridentate N,N′,S-chelating ligands, creating a distorted octahedral environment [the smallest angle being 75.40 (6)° and the widest angle being 162.87 (6)°], with the two S atoms in cis positions. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two coordinating ligands is 85.65 (5)°. Weak C—H...S hydrogen bonds are also observed.
