The crystal structure of [Zn{(C2H5O)2S2P}2(C10H8N2)], contains polymeric zigzag chains. The asymmetric unit comprises two independent zinc centres with similar distorted tetrahedral coordination geometries. Each Zn atom is attached through an S atom to two monodentate dithiophosphate ligands and 4,4′-bipyridyl residues link adjacent Zn atoms in the polymeric chain.
