In the title compound, [Zn2(C8H7N3OS)2(C5H5N)2], the Zn2O2 ring has a flattened roof shape, with the roof angle equal to 10.10 (6)°. The thiosemicarbazones act as tridentate ligands to one ZnII atom, with the O atoms additionally in bridging positions to the second ZnII atom. Both ZnII atoms are five-coordinated; the coordination polyhedra are close to square pyramids, with the pyridine N atoms at apical positions. Two intermolecular N—HN and one relatively weak N—HS hydrogen bond, together with C—HS weak interactions, connect the molecules into a three-dimensional network.

The UVI cation in the title complex, [U(C17H14BrN3O2S)O2(C4H10O)], exists within a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry, where the oxide atoms occupy the axial positions [O—U—O = 179.8 (3)°] and the pentagonal plane is defined by the N2O2 atoms of the tetradentate Schiff base ligand and the O atom of the 2-butanol molecule. In the crystal, centrosymmetric aggregates are formed via pairs of hydroxy–phenolate O—HO hydrogen bonds. The azomethine C=N atoms, the ethylthiolyl group, the 2-butanol molecule and Br atom are disordered over two positions in a 0.627 (3):0.373 (3) ratio.
